I'm happy with Copaxone for now. I'd consider a switch if something better comes along that has a track record or if I start declining more rapidly.

I am very happy with Avonex, don't see anything on the horizon that may be better, not even the distant horizon. This is because everything new they are considering has significantly greater risk of serious complications. The injections seem to be very safe.

The med is Naltrexone and LDN is Low Dose Naltrexone.

Naltrexone, at the higher doses 50 to 300mg is used as a narcotic/alcohol antagonist. In other words, it helps people get off of drugs/alcohol, by blocking endorphines

Dr Bernard Bahari, A New York Doc/Scientist, while searching for something to help Aids patients, discovered that Naltrexone, in small doses (1.75 to 5mg) not only helped some with Aids but also stopped/slowed MS progression in it's tracks.

By taking LDN sometime between 10pm and 1AM, it temporarily blocks endorphines, causing the endorphins to increase production during the wee morning hours.

Go to LDN Homepage for more info.
