I have been taking it for 3 months now. and my liver enzyms are showing very high, now I might add I gained 45 pounds in 2 months so I am assuming my liver was on over load. I was binge eating. The hunger has warn down majorly, I am on a strict diet of Coffee and food when hungry only now. Has anyone else ran into this?Also my new shrink wants to take me off of it because of my liver enzym's but hes a jerk and did not want to see me anyways.

    you were right to think your liver is in overload.  Try to eat less fat and control your eating if possible so the liver does not have to work so hard. Remember if you abuse your liver you may not survive for a long time.
