Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) helps?

Symptoms and Treatments

I found following:

“According to the Low Dose Naltrexone home page [LDN], LDN has been seen to benefit many different neurodegenerative diseases associated with autoimmune processes, including Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s Disease. Dr. Bernard Bihari [Bihari2003], [Bihari2013], who has successfully treated over 300 autoimmune cases, reports that “all have experienced a halt in progression of their illness. In many patients there was a marked remission in signs and symptoms of the disease.”

=> Anybody has experience with Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)?

:slightly_smiling_face: I’m a member of several ataxia support groups…and have very rarely seen mention of anybody trying Low Dose Naltrexone.

It’s an over the counter drug so probably safe??

Naloxone is now available over the counter in the US, as a rescue medication for opioid overdose. Naltrexone as used here is (I believe) a different form. This was an interesting read. I will note that this particular article is 9 years old, but I found it to be a good read.

So worth a try. I’ll ask my doctor and take it if she agrees. You cannot lose I guess.

:thinking: Yes…similar conditions are mentioned but…at best it’s likely to alleviate certain symptoms…it will be a case of trial and error, as is the case with prescribed medication anyway.

It just isn’t possible to obtain LDN over the counter here in the UK…it needs a doctors prescription.
