Can you use Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) to treat ADHD?

This was answered quite thoroughly on the LDN Research Trust website several times. Number one: we would say you have to be working with a specialist.  Especially if it is for children, often people do look for LDN in ADHD in children with autism and children as well.  It is an absolute because of the regulatory environment that we all work in. Number one is to do no harm. You really have to work with a specialist, doctor, consultant, or compounding pharmacy.  You can do it properly.  Seeing that and adults who have taken LDN for ADD or have taken it for something else have often said that their ADD symptoms have improved, and this is probably because of all the new information that we've talked about, reductions in new information, improvements in dopamine production because of the release of endorphins.  It's not surprising that it works. It's just it's a bit of a mind field because of how it is often tried to be used.
