Low-Dose Naltrexone

[Guest guest]

Since a number of us seem to have varying comorbid conditions such as celiac,

aspergers, CFS/ME, etc., I started to wonder that if we could get those

conditions under control, would our misophonia symptoms also be reduced?

I just recently discovered a relatively new therapy called Low-Dose Naltrexone

(LDN) that could potentially be a breakthrough treatment for many disorders.

There have already been a number of small studies. Here's a website with more

information:

The basic theory goes like this. Naltrexone (50mg) is an FDA-approved drug

designed for use in drug rehab centers to nullify the effects of opiate-type

drugs. But studies are showing that in low doses (ex. 3mg) it is also beneficial

for those suffering from chronic pain and a wide number of other disorders ...by

tricking the brain into regulating pain by producing more of its own natural

pain killers (endorphins).

I suspect that as my overall pain and fatigue reduce, so will my misophonia

symptoms.

I'll keep the group posted on my progress.

Here's a site where people around the world are reporting their experiences with

LDN for different conditions. http://www.ldndatabase.com/index.html
