Posted by foodandme @foodandme, Jul 7 2:31pm

Has anyone experienced constipation while taking LDN Naltrexone, even at a low dose?

Please tell us if low dose Naltrexone is having any effect on your neuropathy.

I just started taking LDN and I see a little improvement in my pain but it’s only been a few weeks. It can take a month before you notice any relief

Something that always works for me for constipation is a few raw English Walnuts. Sometimes works too well.

I’ve been on 3 mg LDN for 10 years. It’s the only pain med I need so far.
I have severe sensory motor axonal Polyneuropathy, ME/CFS, and fibromyalgia.
I have chronic constipation but it’s due to autonomic neuropathy, not LDN. Never heard of anyone having constipation from LDN.

LDN at 4.5 mg peak dose (thus far) has had no effect on bowel habits. No effect on neuropathy either as far as I can tell. (by the way, since everyone is different, and your mileage may vary, it may help others if you define your dose when you talk about various drugs and FX)
