IME Naltrexone can cause serotonin syndrome. I wrote down a list of side effects I experienced and then started looking for it. Then I found this:

I had most of the side effects reported for it at doses of 50 milligrams (I am taking 50 MICROgrams).
So having B2 and magnesium at hand will be useful (MAO-A co-factors). I had a especially strong reaction (very painful muscle stiffness at shoulders+neck) after eating food seasoned with Turmeric (MAO inhibitor). I am +/+ MAO-A.
I will have to be extra-careful with MAOIs in food.

I will only increase dosage once side effects clear completely.
Avoiding foods high in glycemic load will also be crucial.
