Neurologist hasn't suggested it. I can see why, Commonly reported side effects of naltrexone include: streptococcal pharyngitis, syncope, anxiety, arthralgia, arthritis, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, frequent headaches, headache, joint stiffness, nasopharyngitis, nausea, nervousness, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic attack, pharyngitis, posttraumatic stress disorder, sedated state, sinus headache, vomiting, induration at injection site, malaise, pain at injection site, and tenderness at injection site. Other side effects include: muscle cramps, muscle rigidity, muscle spasm, stiffness, depression, and twitching. See below for a comprehensive list of adverse effects. Read down further, it would be on my Reaction list in just a few pills.

I know when my BS either goes up or drops. And more than 500 mg does raise my BS. The first drop to 60 scared the crap out of me. My meter reads higher, and I hate the finger pricking.

FMS HITS MUSCLES, JOINTS, NERVES Fatigue, Gastropresis already has me vomiting, Meniere's gives me Migraine's. WAY TO MANY SIDE EFFECTS. Niece has the worse form of LUPUS/LYMES and years of generic HCQ Plaquenil has damaged her kidneys/lungs.

I was prescribed VERY low dose Naltrexone and I immediately had horrible side effects and my doctor made me stop taking it after only 2 doses.

I don't bother with doctor's permission, I just stop them. Your choice of "Dr MADE ME" MEANS you need more use of your own critical thinking. Dr's have NO AUTHORTIY to FORCE YOU TO TAKE A MED. I'VE TRASHED SEVERAL DOZEN BAD MEDS WITH NO PERMISSION. ALL IT HAS TO DO IS CAUSE A REACTION. I CHECK OUT SIDE EFFECTS BEFORE I FILL A NEW DRUG.
