i suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (with the associated depersonalization and 'numbing') and have read that some of the symptoms may be linked to the opiod system.

LDN was something i was interested in investigating at some point.

i know that naltrexone has efficacy in treating OCD, but how do the effects differ from LDN? wouldn't LDN potentially make it worse?

A simple short trial (few days) of Vicadin would tell you a lot. A longer trial of LDN to follow. DLPA a possible stand-alone or add-on. If you haven't already, do some searching and reading on tag words such as "LDN", "LDN depression", "endogenous endorphin depression", and such. You'll see what I mean. All that stuff explains it better than I can. You will see direct strong links between the immune system and mood.

> I'm not saying that depressed doesn't make you more sick. I'm sure it does. But I've been depressed for 15 years and haven't had a cold or flu in probably a decade. Yet, I cannot fight off a simple boil, and a mere scratch can takes weeks to heal and leave a scar.....clearly a confused immune system....which is corrected by LDN or opioids. The depression cured too. But again, a simple diagnostic test is maybe 2 Vicadin tabs per day for 3 or 4 days and see what happens. If you feel normal, you just made a diagnosis and now know where to focus. Vicadin is not a longterm answer, but instead a diagnostic tool, one that pinpoints specific meds and supplements to focus on for both the immune system, disease in general, and mood, all simultaneoulsy.
