I was worried about this too - my doc upped me to 1500 a day recently as well but he's already run two bloods on me to check my liver so he's on top of it. I just sit there and flirt with whoever is drawing - male or female - doesn't matter!
I try my best to have some fun with it.....if there's any fun to be had. It's where I am now and my alternative is to go back to being who I was before, an angry, paranoid, ranting, self destructive splitter who drinks too much when he's in a good mood. At the same time, all sorts of side effects are listed with all sorts of medications. Heck, I eat grilled steak once a week. That probably isn't good for me either.
Rock on.
