How Often Do You Recommend a Thyroid Panel When Starting Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)?

The question was asked by the pharmacist, “How often do you recommend a full thyroid panel while slowly increasing LDN?  I had a full panel after first starting at 0.5 milligrams.  I've been on one milligram for two weeks and looking to increase to 1.5.”  That's a great question, and that's again a follow-up to what we had started talking about earlier.  Until someone is stabilized on Low Dose Naltrexone and until someone is stabilized and has good thyroid levels and their medications are adjusted appropriately we usually take a look at what's going on every four to six weeks.

That tends to be common practice.
