What you're saying is true for the normal dosage of Naltrexone (50mg), but Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) should be dispensed in no higher than 4.5mg doses. At this low dose side effects are minimum. The drugs I was prescribed prior to LDN caused me to extremely elevated liver enzymes. My enzymes have dropped back down to normal on LDN.

You cannot be on any kind of opiate, both prescription and street type, and cannot have any alcohol, and it's very dangerous if you have any kind of liver or kidney problems, and some other drugs interact with it, and it makes some over the counter and prescription medicines not work. And you can't rely on doctors to even know all that, and to provide the necessary follow up lab tests that have to been done, I've seen it given with no follow up by a doctor. They usually say the lab tests are too expensive and not necessary, but you're the one who pays the price when they're wrong. Do a google search for "Naltrexone side effects" to gain a better understanding before experimenting.

It is very, very good for nearly anything, but seems to be especially good for nerve troubles. Not familiar with the particular condition you inquired about, but since the low dose of the naltrexone does no harm, and helps so many conditions, and is so very, very cheap, cheap, cheap--- my take is Why on earth not give it a try?? pj ps You will very likely NOT be disappointed.
