Low Dose Naltrexone and Neuropathy

I’m following up on my previous post from July 19th. At that time I was taking 2.5 mg of low dose naltrexone and it hadn’t helped for my nerve pain. I have worked my way up to 4 mg a day and it still hasn’t helped. I’ve been taking LDN for 5 months now after starting with 0.5 mg. I’ll probably go up to 5 mg and if it still hasn’t helped I’ll stop taking it. I wish I had better news to share, but perhaps 4.5 mg or 5 mg will be the magic number.

@patrick17 Thank you for sharing your experience with LDN. As it sits in my cabinet, I've never actually tried it. Twice now I've been so desperate for something else to help that I considered it, which is why I filled the prescription. Unfortunately, I don't believe that it will help me as I'm already on opiates and not coming off anytime soon. It's discouraging when you hope for something to work and it doesn't. However, the fact that you attempted says a lot and now you can check that one off the list. Perhaps going to 5 will do the trick but if it doesn't thank you so much for being someone who experimented and gave us results. I wish you the best going forward with whatever you find works for you. We must keep trying even when we get exhausted from doing so.
Best to you,
Rachel
