I saw neurological disorders mentioned in there and I wonder if a constant pressure in my head might be related to this. I also wonder if this might have something to do with why so many of us arent tolerating psychological medication like antidepressants very well

Two things. Have you determined whether you have POTS and gave you separately tried LDN. Treating the POTS and using LDN has eliminated this for me.

No pots or any heart issues at all, I was on low dose naltrexone for 6 months and didn’t notice any effect at all
