Thanks, you two. I haven't heard back from my thyroid test so I assume it's normal. That means I'll go on Lexapro.
I have yet another question. My doctor added a liver function test when I started taking mefformin (I don't take it any more.) and when I was taking Lexapro. I don't think he does one regularly any more but he stated when I was on those medicines he was doing it because... I was on those medicines. Does Lex have any long-term effect on the liver or does it up the risk of liver probs?
I know taking cinnamon does, and I still take that. Should I not take it if I go on Lex, or should I just take them at different times? There is an enzyme in cinnamon that can affect the liver at large doses but I don't take much which is why I didn't care before.
What is Lexapro's effect on the liver and if I add it on, should I subtract something? I take a multivitamin daily, though I alternate b/w a women's multivitamin and gummy vitamins. I take a calcium supplement (chewable) at dinner along with either flaxseed oil capsules or cinnamon (about 1000 mg). I take synthroid in the morning, 12.5 mg. I take elavil at night (25mg), and occasionally asprin at night if I have trouble sleeping. I can cut out flaxseed/cinnamon - those are just for lowering cholesterol and helping with PCOS symptoms - but, I have a ton of each and want to use them up.
