… We also decided to continue with the LDN because we believe it’s working. It seems as most of the remaining “fog” has lifted, he’s more social, more aware, has better eye contact and his processing seems better (even though there’s still room for improvement)…
He has been taking the Naltrexone nearly a month now. I do see improvement as far as expression and vocalizing full sentences when asked a question. I also feel his vocabulary has also expanded. It may not be drastic but I feel he has improved since he has been taking the Naltrexone.
We are at 6 weeks of LDN. This has been the key it seems like. It seems in the past week vocabulary has been off the charts! It’s great! One thing I can recommend is the pharmacy makes a big difference.
The Low Dose Naltrexone has been amazing. The day before we tried it, I read an article in which a mother said that her child stopped his self-stimulatory behavior 3 hours after applying the first dose of LDN. We had the same experience. The only “stim” Manny really had was that he would put objects up to his eyes and look at them closely. We’re not sure whether it was an actual stim, or whether it is related to his exotropia. In any event, we rubbed the cream on Manny’s wrist, and literally the next morning (after 1 dose), he completely stopped bringing objects to his eyes and he has been so much calmer. Also, his exotropia has decreased what seems to be tenfold since beginning the LDN. All his therapies noted that his progress since the LDN had been through the roof. Thank you for prescribing this medication. It feels like a miracle medication.
