I have several questions about low dose naltroxen. Does it work if one has had CRPS for over 20 years? If it does work well for me, would I most likely need to continue using it for the rest of my life? Or if I got pain relief and felt "stabilized", would I be safe to discontinue using LDN?
Lastly, does anyone mix up their own LDN using 50mg. tablets and distilled water? I have read that some compounding labs have had problems with properly preparing LDN capsules/tablets. Would appreciate any help on this topic. Thanks! Brightcloud (trying to stay bright) |

To CRPSbe,
I'm glad that you had found treatments that work for you. So far, all that I have read about LDN seem positive though I realize it's not for everyone. Since the usual dose of naltrexone used as a narcotic antagonist is 50 mg., I can't see a great danger in taking 1 to 4.5 mg. Stanford University in California is also conducting a clinical research trial using naltrexone. To me this is hopeful. And I am trying to hold onto hope. |

Brightcloud, this paper sums up what is known, what is not known and what the possible risk factors of self-medication are for LDN fairly well The use of low-dose naltrexone (LDN) as a novel anti-inflammatory treatment for chronic pain.
It might help you to make an informed choice about LDN.

Appreciate reading about LDN; especially the risk factors of self-medication. I am on a fairly high dose of Oxycontin but have been gradually lowering my dosage. It would be a while before this might even be considered. It was interesting to read the effect LDN has with bowel issues and the effect of anti-inflammatory treatment. Gerry |

kiwi33,
Thank you so much for posting the link to the LDN research article. It is one that I had not seen before and contains a lot of helpful information. It is also hopeful that researchers may eventually discover other glial cell modulators. Brightcloud |
