Re: elevated liver enzymes caused by SSRIs

In reply to elevated enzynes caused by antidepressants, posted by RayAnn on September 16, 2003, at 15:36:59

> Hello, I've been on effexor for 6 wks and had to get off it abruptly. The same thing happened to me with lexapro. My alt went from normal to 187 being on lexapro. I had an ultrasound done and it showed perfectly normal liver. My enzynes were normal again two weeks later. Six weeks ago I started effexor and this time my alt is 156 and my ast is 186. Has anyone else had this problem?
> Thank You RayAnn

Hello,

I am a psychiatrist and one of my patients had similarly elevated liver enzymes after 4 weeks on Lexapro. I'd be very interested to hear about other stories and/or explanations, since I haven't discovered much about this in the literature.

Thanks.
