Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Amixide is an effective preparation to treat anxiety and depression. You may use it safely over a long period under strict doctor prescription to avoid drug dependence (this will avoid abusive use). You should continue this drug as ordered by your doctor. Don't stop it on your own.

In case of myalgia and other side effects of LIPICARD you should stop it for two months and continue with healthy lifestyle and diet.

If you were my patients I would suggest:
- Eat fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Avoid using bread, patatos and other starch products.
- Avoid using animal fats. You may use white meat (fish, chicken).
- Avoid unnecessary stress.
- Stop drinking alcohol, cafe or smoking cigarette.
- Increase physical activity.
- Use black (Chinese) tea.

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

The CPK result is slightly elevated and it's related to Lipicard use. Since the cpk is slightly elevated you shouldn't worry about it. It's not dangerous.

It's not related to cardiac muscle damage. You don't need to take any medicine to lower it.

Wish you health!
