Low Dose Naltrexone and Neuropathy

I take the 50mg pill crush it and add 50ml of distilled water (letting it sit for an hour then shake before use) to it then draw up the dosage with a measured food/child's med syringe and add that to juice. 1ml = 1mg etc. I refrigerate it. There are lots of people doing this and plenty of how to videos on YT.

The one time cost was about $40 to buy the things needed to do this right and my copay for 90 50mg naltrexone tablets is $10. That's a 1,000 day supply of ldn or more depending on your optimal dose but the use by date is only good for a year so realistically its a 365 day supply which would be for me $240 at the compounding pharmacy.

This way it's easy to change the dose to get what's right for you. A lot cheaper than going through a compound pharmacy. All they do is crush a larger naltrexone pill and fill gel caps with a lower amount maybe add filler. I looked at going to a local compounding pharmacy and it was $60 for 90 days. Honestly it wasn't the cost so much as having the flexibility to change the dose starting low and moving higher then down again if that's what works.

There is another version of naltrexone called dextro-naltrexone that is being researched and that does not block opioid receptors so larger doses would be possible.

Hello @offthegrid, Welcome to Connect! Thank you for sharing that tip which definitely saves a lot of money. Did you run it by your doctor or pharmacist or just do it on your own?
