    Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)

    A review by [Elchaar2006  🕮 ] reports "Naltrexone has been used most commonly at doses ranging from 0.5 to 2mg/Kg/day and found to be predominantly effective in decreasing self-injurious behavior.

    See also [Crews1993  🕮 ]

    However, [Benjamin1995  🕮 ] has reported a paradoxical increase in self-injurious behavior associated with naltrexone administration.

    Dr. Weyrich has been trained to use Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). However, Dr. Weyrich has not treated any cases of Self-injurious Behavior with LDN.
