Thanks, Aarcyn.

What you've said is exactly the reason I made my prior comments to Erin:

Neurologists and MS Specialists do not normally have any experience with this drug . . . so I appreciate that this may be treading on unfamiliar territory for them. I have noticed that GP's are much more likely to rx LDN, probably because many have previously prescribed it for other purposes, at a MUCH higher dosage.

Naltrexone is just a minute dosage of a very well-established medication. That they haven't done many large trials on the toxicity of LOW DOSE Naltrexone is probably a moot point. That would be like saying that Ibuprophen has been safely trialed at 5X it's recommended dosage . . . BUT it has not been trialed at 1% of that dosage (so we don't know it's toxicity at that level ).

I agree there isn't any scientific proof of LDN's efficacy for MS. There are a lot of (especially symptom) meds we take that have never been trialled for MS specifically. Only anecdotal evidence exists that they may work for us, but that doesn't stop our doctors from prescribing them when we ask though. . . .
