Is anyone using LDN (low dose naltrexone) for fibro pain?

@daisy17 hi, I’m keen to know how the Cyclobenzaprine is for fibromyalgia’s pain, I read that it’s recently been approved for use in fibromyalgia, but you’re taking low dose naltrexone also? So far nothing has worked for my pain, I was given Laroxyl but just 2 drops of it would make me feel groggy the next day, it also did’t do anything for my pains. I don’t wish to take lots of different things, as I already take a monthly injection for migraines and cymbalta for anxiety.

I would recommend trying the low dose naltrexone first. You have to get it from a compounding pharmacy. You start with a very low dose, like .5 mg and slowly work up to a maintenance dose, usually 4.5 mg. Then it can take 2-3 months to notice results. I think it helps me and take it every day even when I'm not in a flare. The cyclobenzaprine helps me with pain and sleep when I'm in a flare. You'd have to ask your Dr about taking it along with Cymbalta though.
