I heard that low dose naltrexone (4.5mg) is used for rheumatoid arthritis since it is used for auto immune diseases such as this. Can naltrexone be used with methotrexate & remicade?
Can low dose naltrexone be taken with Methotrexate & remicade (drugs for rheumatoid arthritis)?

I'm on both MTX and LDN with good results including lower ESR and CRP. Pain level dropped from 8-9 in most joints to 1-3 in fingers and toes mainly. No severe side effects except occasional fatigue and minor stomach issues.

I also have RA and some other autoimmune problems. Have taken methotrexate for years. I wouldn't take the naltrexone without discussing it with the rheumatologist. That's me. You're taking serious meds. Good luck.
