Low dose naltrexone for Post-Covid Recovery experiences?

Has anyone had severe muscle cramps on LDN?Started with 1 mg dose which caused dizziness and heart palpitations. Lowered to .1 mg and increased until
.5 mg but determined anything over .3 mg caused the muscle cramps. Have never heard of anyone else ever having any type of side effects from LDN. Definitely helped with pain but not fatigue. Thanks.

@md11 taking LDN, maybe 3mg or less caused me to have Tardive Dysconesia. It made my mouth move strangely when I talked.
I think it was because I take 450 mg of Wellbutrin xl daily. They both affect Dopamine. Looks like my Dr. would have known that.

Wow!
You are taking very low doses!
The typical dosage, as per several trials and recommendations of LDN is between 1.5 and 5 mg.
I started out at 1.5, felt no effect and doubled it, and have begun a 4.5 mg regimen, still awaiting some effects.
I'm not trying to minimize you reactions--and I'm sympathetic--but you seem to be either extremely sensitive, or perhaps you might be allergic(?). Might you be on other meds that could cause a co-reaction?
It might not be a good choice for you; we all vary so much in what's helpful as well as with our symptoms (almost solely fatigue, in my case).
Best of luck, and thanks for sharing.
