Many patients have turned to low dose naltrexone (LDN) to help with various conditions. LDN has shown the propensity to help with pain, mental health, autoimmune diseases, and more.
LDN helps with these conditions by providing the following benefits:
LDN is a compounded medication containing tiny doses of naltrexone (typically 0.5 – 4.5 mg).
Originally used at higher doses for addiction, low doses may help regulate the immune system and reduce inflammation.
It briefly blocks opioid receptors, triggering your body to produce more endorphins and modulate immune responses.
This may reduce inflammation and ease symptoms in autoimmune or neurological conditions.
Most are mild: vivid dreams, sleep disturbances, or temporary headaches.
These often fade within weeks. We adjust doses to minimize reactions.
Responses vary. Some see changes in weeks but in general most will experience the full effects after 2 months of use.
Consistency is key and it is important to track symptoms and work with your prescriber.
Most plans don’t cover off-label compounded medications such as LDN.
However, we do provide transparent cash pricing. Some FSAs/HSAs accept LDN receipts. We are always happy to supply documentation.
When used at traditional doses, naltrexone completely blocks opioid receptors. Blocking these receptors reduces the euphoric effects of addictive drugs such as heroin or opioids.
At lower doses, however, naltrexone only temporarily blocks the same opioid receptors. The intermittent blocking causes the body to generate up to 3x more endorphins!
The increase in endorphins is the main driver for several additional benefits.
Boosting endorphin production will help reduce inflammation due to autoimmune disorders.
Beta-endorphins can have an inhibitory effect on the production of antibodies, leading to a reduced cytokine response.
LDN also eases inflammation by impairing glial cell cascading. This provides relief from conditions like fibromyalgia, where chronic glial cell activation increases inflammation.
Treating conditions such as chronic pain and autoimmune disease can be difficult. Traditional approaches may even incorporate multiple medications, including opioids. LDN helps eliminate the reliance on these additional drugs.
Many patients have satisfactory results when using LDN for their chronic pain or autoimmune conditions. Medications such as opioids can lead to addiction and other adverse outcomes. LDN helps patients step away from these medications.
All in all, LDN helps give patients their lives back. Many patients have found success with LDN and have been symptom-free from illnesses such as fibromyalgia and Crohn’s disease.
Patients report increased quality of life while using LDN and even a few weeks after stopping. This is invaluable for patients who have tried other treatments unsuccessfully.
