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?

I have the script from my Doctor for naltrexone 50mg through my mail order pharmacy. I called the compound pharmacy and they said the script would have to go through them and told me the $60/90 day cost. So I already had the naltrexone through mail order and just did some research on it - I'd read people were 'making' their own doses which is pretty easy.

During my next PCP visit I'll bring it all in to her office and demonstrate what I'm doing. I doubt she'll disapprove. She's knew about LDN when I brought it up.

I've got some other meds which I get prescribed at a higher dose and cut the pills in half or quarters (unless they're time release there's no issue with that). Making it into a solution is a much more accurate way of judging the dose.

Hopefully it helps my arthritis in the long term.
