Can ldn (low dose naltrexone) cause reduced appetite? (used for heds pain and dysautonomia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IT MAY! Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is an opioid antagonist that has been used to treat various conditions such as chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, and neurological diseases. It works by blocking the opioid receptors in the brain, which results in increased production of endorphins and enkephalins, the body's natural painkillers. However, the effect of LDN on appetite is not yet fully understood.
