Is it possible that the naltrexone is making you worse? 25 mg is a really high dose for depression. I take low dose naltrexone. The highest I've ever gone is 4.5 mg a day. It's thought that doses higher than this can worsen depression by blocking your opioid receptors too effectively.
You said that you react poorly to norepinephrine. So do I. I'm considering stellate ganglion block, since this is supposed to reduce NE levels. It's used at dozens of pain clinics in the US. I've called several clinics, asking if they would allow me to get a stellate ganglion block off-label. So far I've just dealt with brusque, unhelpful receptionists. If necessary, I will go to Chicago to get it from Dr. Lipov.
