My endocrinologist put me on Naltrexone because I was so sensitive to the other meds for Hashimotos (Hypothyroidism). It helped me greatly for about 3 months and also helped with my fibromyalgia pain. Then I started having peripheral neuropathy symptoms in my arms and legs and more migraines. My primary took me off of it since I am migraine prone and that was a side effect listed for Naltrexone, along with peripheral neuropathy as a side effect. I will have to also add, my B12 was low which can cause the peripheral neuropathy symptoms. I started B12 injections and quit the Naltrexone and the peripheral neuropathy symptoms went away. With that said, my symptoms may have been from low B12 & the Naltrexone both. I am 'ultra' senstive to medications. This may be a good fit for you. I would just recommend looking out for the 2 side effects I mentioned. I wish you the best. God Bless.

My doctor tried four or five antidepressants and each one caused my intestines to feel like they were "quivering" all the time. Finally that Dr. left and the replacement, when hearing of same, turned to the Medical School student next to him and said: "ten percent of caucasians are such slow metabolizers that they need to halve their dosages and take them twice per day." It worked. I also have hypothyroidism and both the regular Rx and the Armour thyroid Rx cause everything in my intestines to change into watery extreme diarrhea.
