Naltrexone

Post by jaxi123 »

Has anyone tried naltrexone? You have to be off all narcotics to try it.

I tried it for 2 months. Low dose naltrexone. Did nothing.

I was on it for about 1 year and stopped the sores I would get from my Complex Regional Pain Syndrome on my feet and ankles. It also helped with pain flares. Long story but had to come off of it. I recently went back on it, 4.5 mg at night and the sores and rash were gone in less than 48 hours. For me it works great. I don't take narcotics because most of the CRPS doctors who do the ketamine transfusions wean you off of narcotics.
