Naltrexone

Has anyone tried or heard anything about low dose Naltrexone (LDN)?
I have been reading articles that indicate it might be helpful for us with FM. There are studies going on at Stanford University. They clain there are little or no side effects. Would appreciate any info. Sometime

I have been on LDN for about 2 months and have found some improvement. It's not the "wonder" drug I had hoped for but it may take up to a year or more to work properly. It is an anti-inflammatory and anti-viral and my body has been in chronic pain for 24 years so I expect it to take a while. I do have more energy and able to do quite a bit more so happy with that.

Thank you so much for your reply. I think its great that you are getting some relief. I'm not sure exactly how long I've had FM, but it is at least 15 years (probably longer). Any relief is a blessing. May see what my DR. has to say. Thamks again. Sometime
