Low Dose Naltrexone and Neuropathy

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.

@offthegrid Do you know if Medicare covers ldn?
I read in research studies that it shouldn't be used by people who are using opioids or narcotics for relief from chronic pain. If one were to take it, it should be with the understanding that they would stop taking opioids quite soon. I don't think I'm ready to do that right now. My primary pain is small fiber peripheral polyneuropathy pain that began in the balls of my feet and is progressing up my legs.
Regarding the use of marijuana products at the same time as opioids - if I were to take marijuana, my pcp would stop prescribing pain meds.
