Need Someone's help or input on this Question?

Posted by BRC on July 7, 2005, at 22:05:02

O.K. here is the deal. I take Lexapro, Klonopin, Trileptal, and Remeron. I have been taking some of them for over five years.

This is my question. Is it safe to be on these meds for that long. When I mean safe. Are these meds damaging to the liver, kidneys, etc. I know that the liver carries a heavy load processing these or any meds on a daily basis.

I have had my liver enzymes checked periodically and so far everything has been o.k. But the last 3-4 times I have had my blood work done they have had to make me come back b/c the tests test results concerned them. But when I would go back and re-test they said that everything looked o.k.

Now my Family doc. has added Lipitor to the mix for elevated cholesterol and I have been on it for almost a year.

My meds work well for me. But I do not want to risk the possibilty of future health risks down the road ( I am relatively young). So, if the meds are safe for the body then I will take them for the rest of my life. But if there is a chance they cause damage to the body then then risks outweigh the benefits.

So, I would appreciate it if anyone knew if the above mentioned meds (except the Lipitor--I know what it does) are potentially damaging to the liver or kidneys. By the way I do not drink or have liver disease.

Sorry for the long post I am just getting concerned at this point.

Thanks and God Bless,

BRC
