    Why did you stop? Does your doctor know?

      I am waiting for her to replied back to me. And I just noticed more cons than pros. I wanna see if there's something else I can take.

    You should have been having regular blood tests.  If your liver levels are OK, it's ok to have 1 unit a day, maybe up to 2 units depending on what your consultant says.
