@daisy17 He is totally against all opioid- barbiturate type meds. My PCP does rx my Butalbutol and he only givrs that to 1 patient. Hes good about trying all the triptans- they just don’t work for my migraine pain. Ubrelvy (sp?) wkd for some time, now i’ve switched to Emgality. He also rxs my Nortriptyline and Topiramate for nerve- related pain. Anyway, I grilled him on it and I guess he had a patient OD on either LDN or something else, and he got burned. So, I sort of get it bit I have to get my Lisdex and 1 or 2 others from my Psyche, some from my PCP, I don’t teally want to go back to a pain dr just for 1 rx. After 35 years, I believe in trying every!

@ellenbly That's a poor excuse. Just because one patient overdosed on Naltrexone is no reason to refuse it to other patients. With that logic, I guess he could deny any meds to anyone.. LDN is 'low-dose" Naltrexone, usually 3-8mg. Regular dose for opioid use disorder at 25-50 mg a day and for alcohol use disorder, the recommended dose is 50 mg per day.
I understand it's frustrating to spend the time and money to see a new doctor. But your initial appointment may be enough to get the prescription, and it's worth it in my opinion.
