Core Mechanism of LDN * Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) temporarily blocks opioid receptors * This creates a transient drop in endorphins * The body typically responds by: * Increasing endogenous endorphin production * Leading to a rebound effect 2. Endorphin Deficiency Phenomenon * Not all patients compensate effectively * Some develop functional endorphin deficiency Clinical Presentation
