A member asked:
Is low dose naltrexone therapy an option for fibromyalgia pain? do i have to stop taking opioids first?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Naltrexone: Low dose naltrexone or even naloxone is not an accepted use for chronic pain states. However, there is evidence that may support its use along with opioids. You will have to discuss with your doctor.
