Hi there. I wanted to ask a question about homemade LDN (I am going to use distilled water). Is it very important to get the ReVia or could I use the generic naltrexone? The generic 50 mg naltrexone is much cheaper and I would like to use that, but only if I am positive that it will work as well. I can get the generic 50 mg naltrexone at Costco for $45 for 30. Thanks so much!!

How can you make LDN? And of course you have to have a script for it at costco.

[low dose naltrexone] QUESTION ABOUT HOMEMADE LDN

Hi there. I wanted to ask a question about homemade LDN (I am going

to use distilled water). Is it very important to get the ReVia or

could I use the generic naltrexone? The generic 50 mg naltrexone is

much cheaper and I would like to use that, but only if I am positive

that it will work as well. I can get the generic 50 mg naltrexone at

Costco for $45 for 30. Thanks so much!!

I'm pretty sure she's just referring to compounding it down from the larger dose.

There was a file that went out a few days ago explaining how to do it.

Hi Suzique,

The generic Naltrexone should do just fine.

All the best,

Hi Leona:

I am referring to the " homemade LDN " using the 50 mg naltrexone

tablet and adding 50 ml of distilled water, then taking 4.5 ml which

is 4.5 mg of naltrexone. If you do a search there is a more

detailed explanation. This is much more cost-effective and I don't

have to worry about it being properly compounded, with the correct

amount, fillers, etc. I hope that this helps.

Take care,

Suzanne

Go to your local pharmacy and ask for a 60ml amber colored bottle

with a tight fitting top. The pharmacist may give it to you free.

Forget the pony bead thingy and go to Amazon.com to purchase this

graduated medicine dropper for $1.24:

Then follow these instructions to make your own homemade LDN:

Liquid LDN (Easiest): Acquire some ml measuring equipment from the

baby section of a Drug Store and a small bottle with a screw-on cap.

Put 50ml of water (distilled is best) and one 50mg " ReVia " Naltrexone

tablet in the small bottle and let it dissolve with a little time and

shaking. Now each ml of water in that small bottle contains 1 mg of

Naltrexone. At bedtime shake the bottle, take a desired dose (no more

than 4.5ml), chase it down with some water and store the small bottle

in the refrigerator. Some people have reported splitting the tablet

in half and dissolving it in 25ml of water to assure freshness every

week.

I was the author of the Homemade LDN WebPage 8 years ago. While the 7mm

Pony Bead is a great way to make LDN especially if you are travelling,

I stopped using it after 5 years and went back to Liquid LDN because it

is more accurate and takes less time to take the dose. Unless you

travel a lot, forget the Pony Bead.
