Is the LDN making me anxious??

Posted by Maria3667 on December 1, 2008, at 12:25:06

Hi everyone,
Two weeks ago I started the use of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). I have an auto-immune disease and some people claim LDN can improve this. LDN is also reputed to have little to no side-effects.
However, the last few days I have definately felt an increase in anxiety.
I don't understand, 'cause I thought LDN would increase endorphines and thus cause a better mood. I'm wondering, does LDN somehow lead to an increase in dopamine? I'm very sensitive to that and it always results in greater anxiety for me.
Or could it be the thyroxine (thyroid hormones) I'm using as well?
I really do hope somebody can answer this for me.
Best wishes,
Maria
