<p><strong>Answer:</strong> LDN is NOT to be used when any opioid is being used.<br />
Vicodin is a potent opioid.<br />
The dose is not as important as one might think.<br />
We&#8217;ve heard of serious problems arising even when the 3.0mg is use at the same time as an opioid.</p>
<p>Short and simple: if you use opioids, don&#8217;t use LDN. If you use LDN, don&#8217;t use opioids.</p>
<p>The following is taken from <a href="http://www.thecompounder.com/msnaltrexone.php" target="_blank">TheCompounder.com/msnaltrexone.php</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.thecompounder.com/msnaltrexone.php" target="_blank"></a><span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><em>Cautionary warnings:</em></span></strong><span style="font-size: small;"><em> Because naltrexone </em><strong><em>blocks opioid receptors</em></strong><em> throughout the body for several hours, people using narcotic medication (such as codeine or morphine) should not take naltrexone simultaneously. It should probably not be taken during pregnancy.</em></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><em>Full-dose naltrexone (50mg) carries a cautionary warning against its use in those with </em><strong><em>liver disease</em></strong><em>. This warning was placed because of adverse liver effects that were found in experiments involving 300mg daily. The 50mg dose does not apparently produce impairment of liver function nor, of course, does the much smaller 3mg dose.</em></span></span></p>
