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

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.

@daisy17 thank you. My doctors have discussed both low dose naltrexone and Tonmya which is cyclobenzaprine, is yours sublingual? My psychiatrist goes to a conference in the Us every year where they discussed nasal esketamine and Tonmya, and he’s upset we can’t get these in London or Europe. I’m trying to get the medication from the US, but just feel dubious about taking even more meds :s despite the migraine injections being a lifesaver! Does the cyclobenzaprine work immediately? I don’t think I have the patience for low dose naltrexone
