It seems they actually want you to take .001mg of Naltrexone, from what I read--so it's not regular LDN, rather, it's ULTRA low dose naltrexone. Apparently this is enough to do something about tolerance. Who knows if it works.
I think suboxone is bonded to some other opioid antagonist, i.e. not naltrexone but nalaxone.
If there's a source that recommends the higher dose--1 tenth of a miligram to a quarter, I'd like to hear about that; obviously, it's important to get the right dose.

No one knows why. Theory is at that dose the receptors involved in euphoria and pain are still open and working, but the ones involved with dysphoria and tolerance are temporarily blocked. This is very new information, purely anecdotal, that I accidentally stumbled on when doing more LDN research. I came across several different forums where heroine addicts were taking ultra
