reaction from LD Naltrexone
I started taking Low dose Naltrexone in early July compounded to 4.5mg, the dose that helped relieve some of my fatigue. However, now I have very annoying skin itching in various places (hands, ankles upper torso, upper arms). I also have a rash under my breasts and on my upper back. I intend to discontinue the LDN for awhile even though it has helped my fatigue. Has anyone experienced this kind of reaction to LDN? And is this a common side effect?

Husband with LC has worked up to 4.5 mg Naltrone (compounded) He can’t tell if it helps.
I meant Naltrexone,
I just started LDN - 4 weeks in and have not had an adverse reaction to-date. I understand that it doesn't really take effect to alleviate symptoms until you've been on it for 3 - 4 months. I've got my fingers crossed!!
I developed a very itchy rash on y chest after compounding to 4.5 mg LD Naltrexone. I discontinued the Naltrexone and the rash eventually faded. It had faded by the time I got an appointment with a dermatologist. So she couldn't identify it in any way. Now I restarted the Naltrexone and are about to start taking 4.5mg. I guess we'll soon see whether I get the same rash.
