Low Dose Naltrexone, or LDN, is a non-toxic drug that helps to reduce pain and inflammation and is typically used to treat a wide range of diseases, including cancer, chronic pain, and autoimmune issues.
LDN is administered externally and works by binding to the body’s natural opioid receptors. In the process of doing this, it displaces the endorphins already attached. LDN only binds to these receptors for a short time, encouraging the production and sensitivity of the receptors, which in turn increases OGF production.
As your body metabolizes the LDN, the new endorphins produced during the rebound effect are able to interact and engage with your body’s receptors, helping to regulate the growth and immunity of your cells. Many people wonder what the Low Dose Naltrexone adverse effects might be, but LDN is a pure inhibitor, which means it has no narcotic effects on the patient.
- Alongside being a pure inhibitor, Low Dose Naltrexone is also incredibly safe, and most patients will not experience any severe side effects while using it. However, on occasion, there can be some minor side effects.
For those using it to treat MS, they might notice that certain symptoms can become worse, such as increased fatigue or spasticity. Patients might also see an onset of symptoms similar to the flu, while if taken later in the evening, then they might additionally experience mild sleep disturbance due to the increase of endorphins. These disturbances could be having difficulty falling asleep or having highly vivid dreams. Experience has shown that in less than 10% of cases, introductory symptoms can be more severe or prolonged and last several weeks, and it is very rare for symptoms to last longer than three months. If side effects are bothering you, then reducing your dosage by 50% for seven days can alleviate this. Very rarely, patients might experience gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea and nausea. In this instance, LDN Sublingual Drops can be used to provide Low Dose Naltrexone directly to the bloodstream, bypassing the GI tract.
