Effexor and Liver Problems

Posted by blazer on July 4, 2001, at 8:31:23

Does anyone here have increased enzyme levels? My levels are extremely high right now and I started taking Effexor 2 months ago. Hope someone has some info on this subject. Thanks

Horsmans, Yves MD. De Clercq, Michel MD. Sempoux, Christine MD. Venlaxafine-Associated Hepatitis. Annals of Internal Medicine. 130(11):944, June 1, 1999:
"We believe that there was a causal association between venlafaxine and hepatitis because the histologic findings supported drug-related hepatotoxicity, other causes of hepatitis were excluded, discontinuation of venlafaxine therapy led to recovery, and venlafaxine can increase liver aminotransferase levels. Liver function test results should therefore be regularly monitored in patients receiving venlafaxine..."
