A member asked:
Is it safe to continue taking antidepressants and anxiety medication with a liver alt reading of 54 u/l? is it dangerously high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends: You didn't say which specific medications you take. We don't know anything about your overall health. The risks involved would need to be balanced with the severity of your mental health problems and how your symptoms improve on medication. I would talk to your prescribing provider about this.
