Naltrexone
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 have my Naltrexone compounded into a liquid - 1 mg per ml. I can draw 4.5 mg with a syringe and mine has little to no flavor. It really helped getting it as a liquid for slowly titrating up to 4.5 mg per day. It is more expensive and runs me about $40 per month.
Doc is now recommending I split my dose into two daily doses to see if I can get a little burst of energy twice a day. And possibly increase slowly to 6 mg per day.

You could disolve the capsule in water (say 4.5ml, or 6 ml) and then drink half the water to get half the dose. Store in the fridge.
Thank you, thank you!!!
