Naltrexone And Constipation
UpdatedI got horribly constipated about 5 days after starting naltrexone 50mg. So I stopped. Are there any known methods of taking naltrexone and preventing constipation? BTW, I have a good diet and never get constipated.

I take a stool softener plus laxative in the morning and night time. I have the same problem so I asked my local pharmacy and that's what they recommended. Hope this helps.
Oh this is so interesting, I take low-dose naltrexone, 0.5 mg in the morning, and it gave me diarrhea every day for the first seven days, then it stopped. I only get constipated on the days I don’t take it, but I think that’s because I also take oxycodone three times a day so when I don’t take the LDN in the morning it’s almost like my body is opioid naïve again.
What did you already try to alleviate it?
In many cases, it can be as simple as increasing your fiber and fluid intake.
Ref: Naltrexone Information
Did you experience any of the other side effects the FDA warns about, such as nausea, anxiety, dizziness, or loss of appetite?
