Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)

Yikes. LDN doesn't sound good. Especially for noise-induced tinnitus and hyperacusis.

Hi @DebInAustralia.

Thanks for replying. Prior to starting LDN, my tinnitus was a very subtle high tone (hissing). Quite manageable compared to my current state.

LDN was the only thing I introduced, so I am 100% sure LDN is the cause of spiking my high tone (hissing) and introducing a new constant bass tone. The latter is an absolute mare.

I haven't taken any LDN since Thursday night, so this is my 6th day without LDN. I am really frightened and scared that LDN has caused permanent damage :-(

Has it settled down?

I wouldn't worry it'll be permanent.

At worst, I think it can cause spikes because of the way it interacts with the NMDA receptor.

If it has activated the receptor, maybe try Magnesium and Zinc; which are known to inhibit the NMDA receptor from releasing Glutamate.

What dose were you taking?

Does Naltrexone activate NMDA receptors? I am asking as, based on your suggestions, it seems that it has a counter effect to Ketamine.

Has it settled down?

Yeah. Took me several weeks, and I had constant headache and dizzy spells. Missed a lot of work. My GP told me to stay away from it. This is not something for me. But I am happy it works for others
