Low dose Naltrexone for POTS helping alot

The Naltrexone dose used for opioid addiction is 50mg. I started a low dose (2mg) two months ago, and it helped immensely with pain, starting the next day. I may try to increase it to see if helps with my Orthostatic Intolerance, a condition similar to POTS, which got worse post-Covid. I pay out-of-pocket $40/month in PA.

My son was taking 4.5 mg. And I decided to try 6 mg but am unsure if it made a difference.

In my reading up on LDN I found that it has been used for years for Fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed with FMS in 1998 by a rheumatologist. I told my doctor that even if it isn't effective for Long Covid, it may well help with my FMS. He was persuaded to prescribe LDN 1 mg x one month, 2 mg for the next month and he plans to increase it monthly up to 5 mg/month.
