LDN Low Dose Naltrexone helped my insomnia

A bout of Covid in 2021 triggered many health issues for me, including severe insomnia and fibromyalgia. I wanted to share what helped me immensely with both conditions: LDN low-dose naltrexone. My fibro pain went away and my insomnia was cured.

Before LDN, I tried Trazodone and sleep gummies, which sometimes helped me fall asleep but wore off after about four hours and then I couldn't get back to sleep. I didn't want to take any prescription sleep medications that could be addicting or cause me to do things in my sleep that I wasn't aware of. I went to a sleep clinic but no issues were found that could be the cause of my insomnia. I still take 2mg of melatonin, and 250mg of magnesium glycinate before bed.

I encourage anyone who suffers from insomnia to try LDN. It's safe and has no bad side effects for me, except for vivid dreams (not nightmares). Drawbacks are that you must get your prescription filled at a compounding pharmacy, it's not covered by insurance, and it takes a few months to work up to the maintenance dose and then can take a couple months to notice benefits. Also, I read that it doesn't benefit everyone.
