Anyone else on LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone)?

I dont know if if this is the right forum, i struggled finding where to put this.
I am about to go from Oxycontin to LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone https://www.ldnresearchtrust.org/sites/default/files/LDN-2018-Fact%20Sheet-UK-Europe.pdf ) for Fibromyalgia, EDS and ME.
It is a relatively new pain killer medication in the UK and i believe only 10% of doctors have prescribed it and if you have to pay for your prescriptions it can be very expensive up to £250 a month!! if you can get it on NHS prescription and dont have to go private.
Is anyone else on this medication ? , i dont know anyone else in the UK on it and if they are on it for Fibromyalgia or if for another condition.

I have found some information for The Multiple Sclerosis Society about Low Dose Naltrexone.
As I'm sure you already have, research using trusted sources like the NHS or NICE and ask lots of questions of the medical professionals.

I couldn't get it from my GP on script, but my MS nurse wrote a supporting letter for me and like hundreds of others I got it privately through a pharmacy in Scotland. It cost around £25 a month. It`s benefits for me were short lived, so I stopped it.
I don't know if it is still available. I`ll ask on the MS support group and let you know.
