Comments on: What is Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)? + Side Effects https://selfhacked.com/blog/low-dose-naltrexone-ldn/ Cutting-Edge Solutions For a Better Life Mon, 20 Sep 2021 13:11:20 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.8.1 By: Lisa Ortiz https://selfhacked.com/blog/low-dose-naltrexone-ldn/#comment-137264 Tue, 08 Jun 2021 03:34:21 +0000 https://selfhacked.com/?p=95484#comment-137264 This is a very interesting articles. But I found what I think are a few errors. I have copied what you wrote here. You say that Naltrexone should not be confused with Naloxone, but in the next paragraph under “The Discovery of LDN”, I think you mistakenly listed Naloxone when you meant Naltrexone. And further down in the same section, I think you mentioned LDS when you meant LDN. “Some small LDN studies have been published and LDS has gained attention as a potential complementary approach to many chronic diseases.”

Note: Naltrexone shouldn’t be confused with naloxone (Narcan), although both drugs are opioid blockers. You may have heard about naloxone kits (spray or injection) that can save lives in opioid overdose. Naloxone is a better choice for reversing overdose because it starts to act faster and lasts for a shorter time, as is desirable in emergency situations. Naltrexone, on the other hand, takes a couple of hours just to kick in [7, 8].

The Discovery of LDN
Around the same time when naloxone was being used for opioid addiction in mainstream clinics, New York-based physician Dr. Bernard Bihari started using the drug in very low doses in the midst of the first AIDS epidemic.

Since it is so well-written and organized, that makes it even more perfect. I have been taking LDN over 5 years and it is, for me, a “miracle drug”. Almost the “Silver Bullet” for everything that ails me. I have shared the article link on 4 different LDN–related Facebook groups. It would be the perfect document for me to point to when someone asks “What is LDN?” May I have your permission to perhaps put it the Files Section of the groups in its entirety with full credits. I am often fearful that a great article will just disappear off the internet at some time in the future. Thank you for writing it. Lawrence
