I'm going through this myself. Blood test will show elevated enzyme levels in my case which indicates an inflamed liver. I also was diagnosed
a few years ago with epstein barr and showed high
levels on one of the test.I've been tested for hepatitis, blah, blah, blah,
and so far nothing.I've read that your medication, doseage, is usually changed if there is indication of liver
problems, and I've read many things can contribute
to this. I have to wait 2 months to get an ultra
sound to determine whether I have a fatty liver.
I've been doing some research on this.For the time being, I'm using NAC and milk thistle
which I use in liquid form and add it to tea along
with goldenseal and echincea. I've also read
L-gluthione is a very powerful antioxidant.Every place I've gone is sold out. NAC converts
to L-gluthione.Before the depression problem can be controlled,
the physical problem for me is the root cause.I think this is the reason things, ie, effexor
give me a bad physical reaction.Pray for the answer.
Best to you and everyone.
