Low-dose Naltrexone for lower back pain

Thank you for detailing and providing information about LDN. I've been prescribed for chronic fatigue/fibro/Autonomic dysfunction. I've already titrated to 4.5 mg. and am wondering if you ever experienced heart palpitations when starting a new dosage? My heart feels like it's flipping over in the middle of my chest. I've reached out to my cardiologist and autonomic dr (waiting to hear back) but thought I'd see if anyone else experienced this as a side effect that eventually went away?

Hi, no I've not experienced any symptoms but I increased very very slowly. Is there a reason you are on the highest dose? The way it works is the lower the dose that os helpful, the better. Ot can take months at 3mg, like 6, to see if that will help. Then increase by .5 every several months. It should take almost a year to need to go as high as 4.5. That may be too high for you. The quicker the highlife is reached and endorphins kick in, the better. Like 2 or 3 hours of halflife is best. Achieved by lower dose. Best of luck. Have ypu added other meds at the same time. You can't take any opioids on it. Be
