This doesn’t make sense to me as naltrexone is not an opioid, but is used in large doses to treat addiction. However, at small doses, it treats inflammation, pain and other conditions with efficacy. For more info check out the Low-dose Naltrexone (LDN) Research Trust website or FB group.
@hraka13 no offense but whatever you read is highly inaccurate. It's the opposite of morphine actually. It's an opioid antagonist so it quite literally blocks your opiate receptors. It's also used to treat opiate drug addicts. And alcoholics. It blocks receptors that give you the euphoric effects and can cause, essentially instant withdrawals. I would make sure you're reading fully accredited websites for your own personal use as well as before sharing very inaccurate information like you did. Make sure youre not just reading random articles you found on Google thats based on someone opinion rather than actual trials and research

I was in the Naltrexone study at Stanford in 2012 I believe it was and I never heard of it being anything llike morphine. I will have to see what the latest reports say. In any case, out of the study I was the only one that it made worse. I do know a couple of ppl that are on it though. Best wishes
