Were you prescribed Naltrexone for long covid or fibro? Did it help? If so, can you explain what symptoms it helped relieve? Thank you.

Hi..I just saw your reply. The Naltrexone was given for the Ulcerative Colitis that I got from having Covid and also for my foot pain also from Covid, I had the Covid toes. I have not started taking the medication yet as I have been withdrawing from the steroids I had been taking for so long. I wanted to make sure I did not add another drug so soon. Do you go to Mayo in Rochester? That is were I got it. They have to compound the med in there specialized pharmacy. I guess it is well tolerated by patients. Kitty2

I read about naltroxene in a different COVID fb group. I was extremely fatigued and bed bound. I took 1.5mg naltroxene (told my doctor about it & he said he’d prescribe it). It helped me a lot within 2 days. It was a lifesaver for me. I have increased by 1mg monthly and have maintained at 4.5mg, the final dosage. I am still housebound but not bedbound. I can fix simple meals and do simple activities like crochet, sew and read for pleasure. I have heard naltrexone has helped others but also has not made a difference for some. It is worth a try!!! It’s $30 for 30 day prescription, not covered by insurance, at our local compounding pharmacy. Good luck to all!!
