Anyone have experience with Low dose Naltroxone?

Hi everyone, I've heard alot of good things about this "supplement" and I'm considering asking my neuro for a prescription. However I'd really love to know if anyone knows much about it..experience with it? Thanks!

Yes, I tried it but it did nothing for me. I guess it does work for some though. I tried it long ago and can't remember the details.Might be worth a try. Compared to most prescriptions it's pretty harmless.

LDN is NOT a "supplement" - it is a prescription drug, and should not be called a supplement any more than any other prescription drug should.

You can find quite a lot of comments, info and links to information on LDN on this old post.

Good luck with getting your neuro to prescribe it - despite it being basically harmless at the tiny doses it might be used at with MS, most neuros are sceptical - and because with MS it is being prescribed "off-label" they also worry about being sued if anything should happen - (like maybe the person gets a hangnail or something and blames it on the LDN...)

There are also plenty of posts about LDN which come up if you do a search, but they are scattered far and wide and across several diseases and the search engine on this site is inadequate for conducting any decently selective searches.

It's hard to find a prescriber, and then needs to be adjusted slowly. I have a friend who gave me the details, just in case I decide I want to try it someday. I believe someone in our group is taking it, and you can search old posts to maybe dig up more user info on it. GL!

I took it for about a year and noticed nothing. Insurance didn't cover so I stopped. My neuro was fine with prescribing it. Had to get it from a compounding pharmacy.
