I´m going to my dr. tomorrow to discuss it with her. If you have a Facebook account search for low dose Naltrexone. You won´t believe how many people it has helped.
I believe there may have been a second Stanford study. Also there was a 2nd conference in Glasgow on Naltrexone which offers quite a bit of information. I´m still on Lyrica but cannot take anything over 50mg otherwise I´m in stupid-land the next day. The only thing that helps is Adderall but I´m afraid, I´m falling into the prescription meds trap, where I need a med to sleep, another to think and function and another to feel like I want to continue living and so on. It´s madness.

I may consider trying LDN as soon as school is out. I am a teacher so I have two months to get it together.
I am also suspecting that perhaps I may have a Biotin deficiency. I have read in some websites that long term use of anticonvulsants may result in Biotin deficiency and its symptoms are very similar to what I have been going through for the past couple of years.Extreme fatigue, muscle pain, dermatitis etc... I have been taking Klonopin 1-3mg for over 8 years. My mom has also been taking Klonopin and we both have the same symptoms. So who knows. I´m going to ask my dr. tomorrow.
