> So I got back my blood tests from my doctor and he said I had high liver levels. Nothing he said hes to concerned about but something that needs to be watched as I get older. Im currently on lithium and about to start nardil again soon. Im thinking the high levels are either because of the 1200mg of lithium I am taking, or because of the 80 or so pounds Ive gained while being on medications(nardil and invega). Will losing weight lower my liver levels and my cholesterol?
yes, note that weight loss will increase HDL (high density lipoproteins, aka 'good cholesterol'). do you have high blood sugar? eating less junk food and more veg is never a bad idea.
>Is there any suppliment I can take to lower my liver levels? And also some people are saying that nardil is not healthy for ur liver? Is this true and should I be concerned about this?
Drink more coffee, lose weight. I am not sure how liver prophylactics work. Most studies only report on 'liver enzymes' without describing the underlying pathology. So i'm not sure if the dozen things that 'reduce liver enzymes' are effective against anything that does damage to the liver. if anyone wants to send me a textbook on livers, id like that. If nothing else, cut down on sugar/HFCS etc. and corn/soy/'vegetable' etc oil.
