I'd love to hear updates from those in this thread who previously experienced success from either LDN or ULDN. How are you now? Any new thoughts or opinions? Thank you!
I'm not sure if bumping an old thread is allowed, but my doctor prescribed me Naltrexone 50mg in the summer, and I filled it last month. Just today, I took half of a 50mg serrated pill and diluted it in 750mL of filtered water [25mg per 750mL = 25,000mcg per 750mL = 33.3mcg per mL], and then dispensed it onto my tongue with a medical dropped. Since 1mL in the dropper is about 20 drops, that worked out to 1.67mcg per drop, and I took four drops, working out to 8.33mcg. This was three hours ago, almost to the minute.
It could just be my imagination...but I swear, it potentiated the Kratom I am using. It's giving me a sedating feeling that I just wouldn't get with Kratom alone. And it's not just feeling tired...it's a euphoric type of tired.
I am reading mounds of threads on this topic - "Ultra Low Dose Naltrexone" or "ULDN" - and everything I'm reading, including many studies, almost universally agree that ULDN provides benefits in many different areas! For those who are opioid-dependent, precipitated withdrawal [PWD] could definitely occur, so for those who this applies to, be VERY CAREFUL with how much you take. I have been prescribed 50mg Naltrexone tablets, and have used full-agonist opiates THREE TIMES in the past TWO MONTHS [as of tomorrow], and I'm still scared to try anything close to 50mg Naltrexone, lol. I self-administered a 4mg Narcan [Naloxone] nasal spray once, having used methadone two times in the previous nine days, and thought I would be fine, and it shot me into precipitated withdrawals within four minutes. So since that experience, I am very cautious about self-administering any opioid antagonists. I'm not even sure if a full week would be enough, but I imagine sometime between a week and a month since last opiate/opioid use would be when a person could guarantee they would not go into precipitated withdrawals from Naloxone. Naltrexone is probably a little different, but my main point here is:
Be careful!
Ultra Low Dose Naltrexone [ULDN] definitely seems to be hitting the spot for me tonight with the 8.33mcg that I used. Even if my solution was off by a factor of 10 due to an at-home dilution/preparation not being perfect, it would still mean that I took max 83.3mcg of Naltrexone. I definitely wouldn't want to try more than that, at least not until I see how my body reacts to it!
Again - my apologies if bumping this thread was out of line. This topic interests me very much, and I think that ULDN may be able to help a lot of people.
