I'm not sure but, I read awhile back, that is was a lot of hype and that it could be dangerous.. Just be sure you check the reputable sites about it, before you try it..

And how about SammyJo's new book:

"
The Promise Of Low Dose Naltrexone Therapy:
Potential Benefits in Cancer, Autoimmune, Neurological
and Infectious Disorders

By Elaine Moore, co-author SammyJo Wilkinson
Foreword by Dr. Yash Agrawal, MD, PhD

The off-label protocol referred to as Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) modulates the immune system and promotes healing. Relying on clinical trial results and interviews with the leading LDN researchers worldwide, we describe the history of LDN and explain its biochemical and molecular effects. In clinical trials, LDN has been shown to halt disease progression in Crohn’s disease and certain cancers, including pancreatic cancer, and to reduce symptoms in multiple sclerosis (MS) and autism. Ongoing trials are evaluating LDN in fibromyalgia and HIV/AIDS. Anecdotally, LDN has been shown to improve almost every autoimmune and neurodegenerative condition, including Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Chapter One The War on Drugs, A History of Naltrexone
Chapter Two LDN in Autoimmune Diseases
Chapter Three LDN in Multiple Sclerosis
Chapter Four LDN in Neurodegenerative Disorders
Chapter Five LDN in Cancer
Chapter Six LDN in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Chapter Seven LDN in Wound Healing and Infections
Chapter Eight The Immune System and LDN in HIV/AIDS
Chapter Nine The LDN Experience: A Patient’s Guide to LDN
Chapter Ten The Potential Benefits and Future of LDN
Chapter Eleven Resources
Appendix A LDN Clinical Trials
Appendix B LDN Survey
Appendix C LDN Survey Analysis

A BIG thank you to Elaine Moore for making this book a reality. She is an extensively published author on autoimmune disorders. This book will be an invaluable reference for researchers, practitioners and patients who want to understand the therapeutic potential of LDN."

Checking in:
I am seeing a big benefit from the LDN since I have been on it for one month now. My worse symptom "Fatigue" seems to have diminished to a very low level. Not gone, but I'll take it! Whoo-Hooo

It is very cold out and I had the stomach flu. So I didn't get much of a chance to test it for walking or my endurance. I have to build on that now, now that I can stay away from the Ladies room long enough to appreciate a few good changes.

I started LDN on LarryLDN's Birthday last month.
Happy Belated Birthday Larry

I am very happy to have started LDN and love my colorful dreams.
I am on 3.0 mg. The first 10 days I was on 1.5 mg to test for drug sensitivity, which I am happy to say I had no side effects.
Thanks to all

Great news, Lady.

Sounds like you may be one of us who looks back over time to notice the changes . . . not that the changes hit you upside the like a 2 x 4. That happened for some of my symptoms too, up to about the one year mark. After that, everything just stayed relatively stable (no real "changes"). . . but at least I could live with myself at where I was by that point.

Congratulations Lady!

I just ordered my first refill...a little bit late.

I don't like having to drop to 3.0 for a few days, but it's better then running out!

I feel fantastic on the LDN and am so excited to get these results. It is really fun to see that so many of us are enjoying the benefits...I tell everyone I know.

Hi all ! Just checking in. I started 1.5 LDN on Thursday. I quit the narco pain med, Lorcet, cold turkey on Friday. I'm not a taper-down kind of person when it comes to things like this. It has not been pleasant, to say the least . I'm guessing that I won't feel the effects of the LDN untll I get over the pain med 'issue'. It's really embarrassing to post about this stuff, ya know? I'm a pretty open book about my life tough . I hope everyone is doing great .

What dosage did you cold turkey from, Joelle?

"Loritab and Lorcet are physically addictive. To abruptly discontinue Loritab or Lorcet use could cause seizures or convulsions. It is for this reason, that withdrawal from these medications should be gradual and under medical supervision."

http://www.recoveryconnection.org/dr...et_loritab.php

Is your doc on-board with this change and withdrawal plan?

What do you plan to use for pain relief now?

This is a narcotic, right? If so, LDN and Lorcet may cancel the effects of each other out somewhat, so you will need to have that out of your system before the LDN will help at all. 1.5 mg doesn't normally help A LOT anyway, for most people, so chances are you'll have to get up to at least 3.0mg before you will notice any difference.

It took me three attempts to get off A/D's, after I had been on LDN for a year already. The withdrawals were not any easier (they were hard!! ) even while on LDN, but the good news is that I didn't need them once I got through withdrawal. I did try a more cold turkey response, but I couldn't do it. In fact, I had to eventually had to go on a low dose of another A/D initially, in order taper off Celexa. That was the only way I could get off them.

Please tread carefully, and GOOD LUCK!!

Cherie
