Down the rabbit hole
After using drugs for a year or so, I decided to get my health in order. I suffer fatigue (before using drugs as well).

Doctors always wrote it off as a psych problem and tried getting me on antidepressants and the likes until I found a great doctor who found out my thyroid is hypo, and my test is a bit on the low side, could be higher.

I am on
HRT - testosterone
HCG
T3- T4 thyroid pills
DHEA
and a plethora of supplements

My diet is clean as a whistle and I bodybuild- though been taking it easy.

Now, my doctor wants to add low dose naltrexone, in the tune of 1mg at night. She said it helps with immune deficencies, even depression, anxiety, pain and fatigue. This made absolutely no sense to me so I googled it and low and behold it's given to people with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, immune disorders etc, and it gets great ratings.

Anyone have any opinion here? My energy is better, but not where I would like it to be. Still tweaking the meds. This naltrexone isn't going to give me any weird sides/ it ain't physically addictive in any way shape or form, right?
 
I have also been wondering about this. I have alot of the same fatigue symptoms and was wondering if LDN would help. I was on suboxone for 3 years and i have 60 days clean from everything at this point
