Low Dose Naltrexone???
 
Anyone tell me the dosage and frequency on a scrlpt? I have not one, but two doctors who are willing to write it but are unsure of the dosage.

ARGH....it is so tough to get anything done in the RSD world and I hate being the 'doctor' (which I am not!)

Have your doctors contact Dr Chopra from RI his number is 401- 729-4985. He knows all about this treatment and even I am going to start in a couple weeks.

I am now taking 4.5 mg. of low dose naltrexone. I also take it before bed. I had some strange dreams in the beginning but now no side effects.

James,
How is the LDN working for you? Do you take any other meds along with it?

Hello - I'm hoping to revive this thread. James, I'm also wondering how you are doing on the naltrexone. Is there anyone else who has tried it for CRPS that can share their experience with it?

Thanks!

Dr Sajben gave it to my dd back in May at 12.5mg. along with other meds. She is more active than she was before but still has a high pain level.
