Hi Mark,

I hope you are having a great weekend with your grandkids!

Thanks for your suggestion. Yes, I'm actually taking bio-identical hormones from Women's International Pharmacy. Several hormones because, through symptoms and tests, it was clear that I was having significant problems with my adrenal system and other hormones. I use progesterone cream too.

Yes, defintely- the point of the low dose Naltrexone is to experience the benefits of the blockade and get the med out of my system relatively quickly. I take a low dose just at night. However, it's been interfering with my sleep which is a problem and so I'm extra tired the next day but yet it's also helping for some way but usually for just a small period of time in the morning. I was hoping a higher dose would be more helpful but until I can figure out how to manage the blood pressure and sleep issue, going up isn't going to be happening.

I have read a bit about people taking it in divided doses during the day or one dose in the morning. But it's unclear to me if it is as effective and if it is problematic to blocking the cascade during the day.

I do have a BP machine at home- somewhere or other- have to put new batteries in it, haven't used it for a while.

Have you found anything to be helpful with energy and sleep?
