Do I need to taper off Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)

When someone asked if they needed to taper off  Low Dose Naltrexone. I have not seen that. You can just stop use. There's no need to taper and I would say it is safe for all ages. I  don't treat pediatric patients, um but i've seen you know I would be comfortable going down to uh, pre-teens and starting LDN with them.  My comfort is only because I don't treat those younger cases, but there's no reason that I wouldn't treat someone kind of less than 12 if it was appropriate and seemed indicated. There's no upper age limit either.
