Hey guys,

I decided to try 2mg of Naltrexone yesterday... Yes, I know, this is NOT a low beginner dosage.


Wow, it has completely NUMBED my pleasure response to the following:
-Music.
-Exercise high.
-Sex.
-Sweet foods.
-Food literally has no appeal.
-Likes on IG.

Everything about my reward pathway is completely blocked right now...

I know why it's doing this, so I am not scared, I just can't believe how potent it is!!

I even did SPRINTS this morning, and whilst my cognition is amazing, my verbal fluency and clarity on point, there is ZERO pleasurable response from anything. It's GLUE on the reward pathways in my brain.

I am still motivated though... Motivated to build my business though, thank fk.


I guess one pathway:
Anhedonia to music and mu-opioids: Evidence from the administration of naltrexone.


So I guess now it's a waiting game to see it leave my body?

Anything I can do speed up it's clearance?!

Interesting!

On the contrary, LDN has increased the pleasure I experience from pretty much everything. I guess you have to wait until your opioid receptors upregulate.

Dude, 2MG is nothing to worry about and even if it blocked you, it’s very short term.... It should actually unregulate those receptors

People use LDN to increase endorphins

I am back to baseline now thankfully. Took a few days though!
Lokzo, are you permanently avoiding LDN after this distateful experience? Would it be worth trying 0.5mg-1mg to see if you have a different response?
