Thanks in advance.

I want to try low dose naltrexone soon. Let me know how it goes if you do.

I will. I probably won't try it for 5 weeks or so. Is naltrexone supposed to work better than naloxone.

Naloxone is supposed to be better but it will be hard to get a Rx for it. It may be OTC soon though

My Doctor brought it up, so hopefully I can.

Naloxone is available as narcan. Lots of places will give it to you if you say you're worried about someone. Start there. As for naltrexone, I'm assuming you have a doctor who had approved it. If not, you're in for a rude awakening when your realize they just don't give that medication out for off-label conditions.

It supposedly will be OTC soon, but in the mean time it will be hard to get a regular supply.

Yeah, here in Canada it's otc. You just have to ask for it. They'll give you up to 5 doses(?) at a time.

I tried naltrexone and I posted something about my experience before. 6 mg felt like it had reduced my DR quickly. But then the effect did not stay for more than a few days. I tried again later at 25 mg (usual minimum dosage) and it was uncomfortable and maybe increased my DR a bit. Someone pointed out that the positive effect I had the first time could have been a placebo effect, and it's not impossible. But even if it was not, the effect was not very strong and did not last for me.

It's a crap shoot. Lamictal made my dp much worse.

It sure is and it seems to be the same with many meds.
