Was talking to one of my docs today (not my pdoc) and she was telling me about how all the meds I take are being processed in my liver to different degrees. She didn't mean for it to, but it made me feel really ashamed. That is one of the main arguments my mom uses against me when she raves about how much she hates all the meds I've been on over the years.
 Last summer I had surgery and I asked the doc to take pictures of my insides. So I know that I have a healthy liver (I've seen it!  ) but it still makes me worry about the future for my poor liver. I need it to be around for another 60 years or so.These are my meds: Effexor 150 Lamictal 150 Gabapentin 100 prn Modafinil 400 Birth control Supplemental iron Has anyone else ever had that fear, or had to go off the meds for that reason??

I worry about it but I also know if I didn't take medicine the stress I put my body through with depression and anxiety would be worse. I hope I do not put too much strain on my liver but I need the medicine at least for now.

When I was on Cymbalta I read many things about how alcohol was severely warned against because of the liver being damaged by even a little bit of alcohol with that medication. Well, for some reason, I craved alcohol on it, and drank with it, sometimes to excess, for about all of the 11 months on it. Fast forward to several months after stopping the medication, and I have full blood work and an ultrasound...liver is just fine...can't figure it out...

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
