Can you take IVSM while on LDN? |
PunkD, there really is no worry about combining a moderate amount of alcohol and LOW dose Naltrexone (and if there is, I'm going to HE!!)
. I haven't had the same desire to drink, and haven't drank in EXCESS (more then 5 drinks at one time), but that is only because I can't handle my booze at the best of times any more.
I think that the concern with alcohol is the same as with narcotics, codeine, etc; that you may not feel the effects as well, so a person may risk going overboard with those things. Naltrexone, at a much higher dosage, is used to help alcoholics (and drug addicts) withdraw without the same "withdrawal effects", but I don't think it's thought of as dangerous to drink and take LOW dose Naltrexone (at approx 1% the trialed dosage for those conditions).
My insurance (in Canada) pays for it too, as an "exception" drug. They'd much rather pay $20 a month then $100,000 a yr.
IVSM = steroids, right? If so according to Skip's Pharmacy, you can use them. I'm hoping you won't need to though.
