I do not understand why they would give you Naltrexone. It's for Opioid withdrawals. That's crazy. Who gave that to you and why? I look up every medication I get now since I got one from a Doctor that I trusted and it threw me for a loop.

I see some comments here that let me know that folks aren't aware of low dose naltrexone treatment for pain and various other ailments. When used in very small doses, like 0.1 mg to 4.5 mg, it is an effective treatment for many ailments, including pain. The amount given for opioid withdrawal is 50mg-100 mg or more. Check out https://ldnresearchtrust.org for more information. In this very small dose, it acts as an immune modulator and targets the glia cells and reduces inflammation in the body.
