Low dose naltrexone for Post-Covid Recovery experiences?

My primary care doctor contacted a local compounding pharmacy. She was able to order 90 1mg tablets for $67.50 (my insurance will cover 1.5mg or 4.5mg but not smaller doses).
I started a few days ago on 1/2 tablets (0.5mg). I'm supposed to stay at that dose for 1-2 weeks and then gradually increase. By the time I need a refill, I should be at the 1.5mg dose at least, and my insurance will cover that. For $67.50 it seemed worth it.

Homemarcy! Are you taking LDN for fatigue? Brain fog? Lack of energy? Neuropathy? Poor balance? Etc. Did your doctor prescribe LDN generally for LC, or because you had fatigue or some other symptoms in particular?

Yes, similarly for me, my Physician's Assistant actually sent the script to a local compounding pharmacy, with similar pricing to your experience. A month later she upped the dosage from 2.5 to 4.5 mg, if I recall accurately, at my request.
So you just need to find somebody comparable who's willing to cooperate.
Unfortunately for me, really just experiencing fatigue/PEM, the LDN wasn't helpful, but at least I tried. We all seem to respond differently both to the illness, as well as to the potential treatments, don't we?
