Last night I only woke up twice. 
I will post a list tomorrow that I got from the pharmacist. I told him about my dizziness and so he looked up Naltrexone possible side-effects. There must be 3 dozen or so!!! But, as you know, everything that anyone has experienced and reported must be listed. |
Glad to hear the sleep might be leveling off a little for you, TT. I still wake up several times a night, but I am a very light sleeper anyway. Between my paperman/the dog, my kids, my neighbors, I am lucky to get more then a few
straight hours of sleep at night. The good news is that I do always fall right back asleep too, whereas pre-LDN, once I was awake I was up for hours (even if I was exhausted).
If the dizziness is caused by Naltrexone, I would think that will level off in a few weeks. The side-effects listed for Naltrexone are varied, but we are on such a small dosage, there shouldn't be anything that is very troublesome or lasting. Druggies are taking 50 mg - 150 mg, and the original trials were at 300 mg . . . so anything listed is definitely far beyond what we are likely to experience.
