Low-dose naltrexone - LDN anyone?

(Just adding my own experience to this thread/the knowledge pool and revitalizing this thread. )

 

I held my lamictal taper from April 2023 and resumed 12/28/23. 
 

in that time, I took Ldn for neuroinflammation and mold exposure. It has been immensely helpful with my depression and anxiety and I felt more clearheaded than before. I felt this change in a very somatic level too, which was something I never felt on the lamictal, even when it was effective. With Ldn, I slowly titrated up to 3 mg and that dose seems to be working well for me and I’ve been stable and steady on it for a few months. So far I’ve had a very positive experience with it.  
 

I just resumed my lamictal taper a few days ago and I’m in the midst of my usual withdrawal symptoms. 
I’m figuring out how it combines with the lamictal but it’s hard to say on my withdrawal days. I’ll keep observing and report back later. But I’d love to hear about other people’s experience with LDN.
