Re: Trying low-dose naltrexone (LDN).

I don't really understand LDN. Naltrexone blocks opiate receptors so that opiates have no psychological affects. I took 50mg for a year after I withdrew from opiate addiction. My husband gave it to me every night.

I drank while taking it. It did not in any way change my response to alcohol. Why would it? Alcohol doesn't bind with opiate receptors. I know a lot of alcoholics and none of them had a response to naltrexone.

So, 1/10 the dose for depression. What's the theory here?
