Re: methadone to low dose naltrexone

[Guest guest]

Naltrexone, short for Naltrexone Hydrochloride (C20H23NO4-HCl), is an

opiate antagonist. At a therapeutic dose of 50mg per day, Naltrexone

blocks the parts of the brain that " feel " pleasure when a person uses

alcohol or narcotics. When these areas of the brain are blocked, a

person feels less need for " one more drink " or " one more hit. "

Don't know about using LDN for addiction.

=====================

I believe almost everyone here uses LDN to treat either autoimmune

diseases or cancer. Haven't seen anyone post about using LDN for

addiction.

To the extent that opiate addicts are self-medicating a deficiency,

LDN would be helpful. By raising levels of beta-endorphin and

increasing the density of pleasure-promoting mu opiate receptors, LDN

takes your baseline mood/state of happiness up a few notches, like an

antidepressant should in theory (the difference: LDN actually works).

It should decrease craving for drugs and opiates in particular.

By using methadone you're receptors are busy and don't get cravings for heroin.

If you're going to block for heroin use, you may need more than a LDN - a low dose of naltrexone. To feel safe that the mu receptors are blocked you need to measure the mirror effects by going to an expert getting it done. Never use anything on your own to try to quit using heroin. I strongly recommend you to research the net much more and contact your GP to get the correct advice.

I doubt that naltrexone in any dose is good to use to block methadone, because methadone is not a natural substance as heroin.Ingrid
