what does /sci/ think of low dose Naltrexone?
>LDN is a promising treatment approach for chronic pain conditions thought to involve inflammatory processes
>Naltrexone could alleviate depression symptoms in patients who relapsed while taking antidepressants
>"Low Dose Naltrexone changed my life for the better. If I had not added that to my regimen, I would still be suffering from nerve pain and uncontrollable allergy symptoms, in addition to the problems I have from the Hashimoto’s [Disease].”
>While only 38% of those that tried Low Dose Naltrexone reported feeling better, the ones that saw benefit had some spectacular results. 48% were able to reduce thyroid antibodies, 61% saw an improvement in mood, 66% were able to have more energy, and 40% saw a reduction in pain.
>"LDN could change the lives of millions of patients"
>70% of Norwegian general practitioners (family doctors) have now prescribed LDN "the proportion of LDN users went from an insignificant number to 0.3% of the population"

hmm in terms of inflammation i think a rheumatoid doctor has to work with it. inflammation such as arthritis? in terms of arthritis apparently those with larger leg muscles can recover much easier than other who have frail legs (as in arthritis in the knee). at the same time people abuse the shit out of pain killers. pain is very relative too. someone could have some pain and say its an 8/10 on the pain scale. little do they know an 8/10 is amputation type pain...
Could this drug fall into such overuse?

Ketamine is much more effective for alleviating depression symptoms
