Just want to throw something out there regarding LD Naltrexone.
This gets pushed on our community a lot. I am not onboard with any meds that have the potential to psychologically alter my personality. So, I am still declining my many docs several attempts to get me to try it, but I also had genetic testing done that confirms that psych meds and my chemistry do not interact well. So, I would beware and do diligent research as you suggested, before trying any medication. I just think you should always know what you are possibly in for. I don't know why docs are always pushing meds like this on everyone. I have had it put in my chart not to even offer me anything that has that potential for psych effects, as when they try to sell it as something else, I have issues from the fact that it is also used for psych and those effects it has on me, and that is extremely dangerous to me.
To each his own though. Whatever works for you and what you are willing to do is up to each of us. I am glad it is working for you. I have provided what Mayo Clinic has for information on this medication if anyone would like to research it.
