>is it risky to try? Could it lead to emergence of psychosis?
The side effect list of naltrexone was developed from the 50mg dose, usually in patients recently withdrawn from high doses opioids. 50mg is a very potent opioid antagonist, and considering that a lot of patients who were given naltrexone still had a degree of opioid withdrawal, the side effects in this situation could be unusual and very unpleasant.
I wouldn't anticipate any such symptoms in someone taking tiny doses. And someone who is not opioid dependent. It's a completely different situation.
