Thanks JT,Yes I wondered if it was something in the tablet other than the actualnaltrexone. The tab has a pale yellow colour coating, which means ithas an artificial colour, however being that the dose is so miniscule,it is pretty amazing it could have had that much affect. I was usingRevia 50mg which you have to cut one tablet into 16 tiny pieces to getthe usual dose. Someone from the CFS group suggested I try thecompounded capsules to see if it made any difference but nobody herein Australia is compounding it into low dose capsules yet. I can'treally justify the expense since the Revia (Naltrexone) cost me $200(ouch) and I can't use them. Wish I wasn't so super-sensitive. Ihave a long list of natural supplements that others with my symptomshave had great success with but that my malfuncioning body simplycannot tolerate. It is terribly frustrating and since I am unable towork, it really hurts to have spent more money on something I can'tuse. But I am really glad I tried it.Warm regards,Jan> > Jan,> > > > I am not sure what CFS & MCS are, but you are right that if we > could figure > > out why you reacted this way to LDN, it might help many people. > I, too, would > > have thought that you would have felt better.
