A member asked:
High shbg (90) caused by taking depakote, which i discontinued months ago (seizure-free), for 20 years. will my liver ever recover?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: There are many different factors involved including other mediations, the health of your gall bladder, or whether you have a fatty liver, etc If you stop the Depakote and take no other meds or alcohol your liver usually within a year will heal itself So continue a good diet and monitor your other meds , avoid alcohol, and recheck every 6 months
