Marylebone is used to get one off of opiates is used generally as part of a complete txt program for drug abuse. Can not be used concurrent with opiates as it will cause sudden severe withdrawal . It is also used to txt alcoholism. Hope this helps.

Opiates never did help me either. Just caused more physical complications.

Naltrexone is a medication that reverses the effects of opioids and is used primarily in the management of alcohol dependence and opioid dependence.

However, LOW DOSE NALTREXON LDN is being used for various conditions, but is quite new.
I have seen info for it being used for Hypothyriodism that is caused by antibodies e.g. Hashimotos, Fibromyalgia and others I cant remember at the moment.

I have been trying to get my Rhuematologist to prescribe it for my Fibromyalgia, but my Hyprothyroidism would also have to be monitored.
