On accutane and liver values still very high!!!

[ClenAche]

i've done 3 courses of accutane previously, and each time my values were elevated. liver only slightly, but trigs and chol thru the roof. most important is to eat clean. for your liver, try the previously suggested supps plus lots of water. for trigs and chol, i found that if i fasted longer than the necessary 12 hours for the blood test, my values would come back much lower. i used to go 14-16 hrs. only problem is you get real weak b/c low blood sugar. i know thats hard when trying to grow, but pick your priorities. also, triglycerides are not only affected by the fats you eat, but also alcohol and sugars. avoid em for awhile b4 your blood work. peppers also help suppress your body's ability to produce cholesterol. i used to eat as many as i could stomach the day b4 the test. hope some of this helps.

Well, if it makes you feel better, I went to the ER Friday night because I have had bad intestinal pain for a few weeks and I finally surrendered. They did my liver tests and I was 155 on one and 179 on the other. They are doing more tests and my doc wants me to come off the gear, but I am too close to finishing the cycle. I started on ALA 600mg/day and milk thistle 800mg/day.

We'll see what happens. It is probably my GI problem that is screwing things up, but my doctor is all over my ass about this. I am hoping the ALA and milk thistle help. Those levels are slightly elevated, but not out of control. Because of medication interactions I ran levels up to 10k before. Of course I was in ICU and the docs wanted to do a transplant on me, but somehow the levels came down and was fine after that. The liver is very resilient.
