What might be happening as you increase the dose, is that the naltrexone is displacing your own endorphins on their pain receptors. Hence the pain. People who have used opioids for a long time like you did, tend to generate more receptors too, and that may be a factor. I haven't see reports of return to normal receptors after opioid treatments, so I don't know how that would work either.

Naltrexone is used to do this in higher doses, for opioid addictions to counter receptor activity.

People may vary genetically as to when the LDN dose affects them this way.
