Immediate Switch From Opiates To Ldn
(Newest replies first)

Updated

Reluctant to switch from a 20 mg norco 3x a day for years to the Low Dose Naltraxone. I understand that the LDN may not have side effects in itself but I'm worried about withdrawaling from my Dr prescribed opiates. Does the LDN soften the withdral?

Ldn cannot be used to in any way to manage withdrawal from opiates. This will be an alternate treatment once all opiates are out of your system. It regularizes the immune system. Two weeks off opiates should be the minimal time before starting ldn. This is an off label use, ordered from compounding pharmacies. It is totally legal with prescription and has early remarkable results.

Ldn is used in doses from 1.5 mg to 4.5 mg for immune system enhancement. Preliminary studies show good results for MS. It show never be started until all opiates are out of system.

Why are you being put on the Naltrexone?

It's not an analgesic and if you take it too soon after taking opiates, it can actually throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals.

I'm sorry, but I'm a not quite understanding what's going on here.

Naltrexone is usually used to help people stay off of opiates or alcohol. Along with withdrawals, its other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness and stomach cramps.
