Doing it for myself

Can anyone give me any help, I have 4 autoimmune conditions along with high blood pressure and some sort of skin condition (unknown by GPS & dermatologist).

I am trying to get Low Dose Naltrexone on prescription but I currently take Zomorph 60mg twice a day along with Pregabalin 150mg twice a day and amitryptoline at night.

The help I need is I cannot get LDN whilst taking Morphine so I need to reduce/stop that but will need to replace it with something else any suggestions? Please

with tramadol you can take the ldn in the morning and the tramadol in the evening. 6 hour + gap should be ok.

Thanks for your help.

Hun that is something you need to discuss over a medication review with your gp.I have had to correct my gp twice this year for giving me drugs that dont mix. they are so busy and so eager to please and keep their surgery running to time they dont look at history, slowing you down onto just the medications you need to have that work (if amitrip work stay with them as they dont suit evryone), I cannot help with skin issue I didnt ever go into that field in my nursing career
