Does anyone use LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone) for their Parkinson disease?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Minocqua, WI

Have recently heard of a medication LDN (Low dose Naltrexone) that is being prescribed for a few medical problems. Have also heard it possibly could be beneficial for some of the problems connected with PD. I will be contacting both primary and PD doctors with questions on this medication. It is my husband Dave that has Parkinsons, Thought I would ask here. Thanks, Dottie

My husband takes a cocktail of meds. He takes Stalevo, Mirapex, Azilect, Amantadine, and carbo dopa to help nausea. He does a lot of exercise and must use a walker. He tends to fall backward and someone must be with him at all times.

Haven't heard of it. I take Stalevo (carbodopa + levodopa + entacap. ) I also take Ropinirole.
