> Elevated enzymes may not be significant, but if it were to result in serious and irreversible liver dysfunction, it would be a different matter. There are some supplements, such as SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine), methionine and N-acetylcysteine, that could potentially be useful in protecting the liver when taken along with Nardil (or acetaminophen/paracetamol and other drugs with hepatoxic potential).

I hadn't heard about methionine being liver protective. Or maybe I did a long time ago when I used to abuse opiates and got a lot too much tylenol in my system. I think I'll try the milk thistle first. It somehow seems more benign than methionine or N-acetylcysteine. If the milk thistle doesn't work and my enzymes are still elevated when I go back for retesting, I will try the big guns. Or maybe I will buy some methionine now. Would it be a good idea to take milk thistle AND methionine? Remember that only two enzymes were elevated and one of those was only 1 point above normal and one was 15 above normal.

I believe that it may also just be my body adjusting to the Nardil and I believe that when I go back for retesting my enzymes will have returned to normal. I'm certainly not worried about one point above normal. But I believe that things will straighten themselves out (with God's help) and they will have returned to normal or at least to a level which is not an issue.
