I was interested in LDN for anhedonia and did a little bit of research into people's experiences.

Cost-wise, it seems harmless, since if you obtain Naltrexone online and produce your own solution, it's like $50 for a year's supply.

The thing that stood out was that some people emphasized titrating slowly and essentially treating it like an SSRI .. i.e. being careful with how you move up can allow you to side-step most of the side-effects like insomnia. There were suggestions, however, that some tolerance did set in w/r/t it's opiate-like properties, and that people became lazy/numb with consistent use, as you would with a regular opiate. It seemed like that effect could be dodged with lower/increasing the dose regularly, but I couldn't find anything concrete in that regard.

Have you thought about something like Mirapex? or too risky?
