Experience with LDN?

[Not Perfect]

Hi all! I am starting a course of low-dose Naltrexone to try to cope with my OCD and anxiety issues. It's not the most conventional treatment, but it is favored by many doctors with a holistic/naturalist bent, especially for anxiety. I am hopeful for good results, and excited to try this new treatment.

I am curious: has anyone taken this drug for OCD? What has your experience been?

DISCLAIMER: I am taking this under the supervision of a doctor, and am also seeing a therapist for my OCD. I'm not asking for treatment advice; just curious what others' experiences have been. Talk to your doctor about any treatment you are interested in.

Hey. My quality of life would be terrible without my medication. I'm on an SSRI drug called Paxil. I just can't get past the fears without it. I still have them and I still ask for reassurance from my husband sometimes but I am able to get past them so much faster and I don't have them as often. For me it took about 10 to 14 days to start working and got better and better each day for about 5 months. I noticed it was working when I quit washing my hand faster. I knew they were clean sooner. I have one of the worst cases ever.
