Naltrexone

Posted by diverdown1 @diverdown1, 1 day ago

I discussed L low dose Naltrexone with my doctor. The research is showing that doses of 4.5 mg is having some positive results. I tried 4.5-6 mg in 2023. Although it seemed to help some, I stopped taking it due to the price as I have no insurance and Naltrexone is not available in such a small dose unless compounded at a special pharmacy. We discussed my trying it again, as I am desperate to feel better and function better. I started taking 25 mg of Naltrexone about a week or so ago. I took it at night. This was a mistake as I could not sleep so I changed to taking it in the morning. It does help. Just fyi...it can't hurt to try it for all of you who I know are struggling with this debilitating virus that has wrecked our bodies.

I love Naltrexone as well. I started at 1 mg and have worked up as high as 4.5 mg but 3.5 mg seems to be my sweet spot. I have to take it in the morning as it does give me insomnia. It does give me a burst of energy about 2 hours after I take it and it almost completely takes away the pain from the COVID constant chronic inflammation. I still have to pace myself or I will run out of energy and be down for a few days...but I feel better than I have in 5 years.
