Any research on low-dose naltrexone?

Posted by ericy210 @ericy210, Nov 2, 2022

I’ve seen a few references the past couple of weeks of people being described low doses of naltrexone to help with long Covid. It’s usually used to reduce alcohol and drug craving.
Anyone have any concrete research on it? Thanks.

Yes, I tried it for a month (December) and it greatly increased my energy level. I stopped taking long naps and started to feel able to clean the house. I stopped it for a month (January) to see if it was truly LDN. Restarting it now and hoping it was truly the LDN that helped.
