Can Liver Inflammation Damage Liver?

27/Male 6'0 185. No real medical problems except aniexty. My medication I was taking at the time was, Seroquel 25 mg once nightly. Lexapro 10 mg once daily. Lipitor 20 mg nighly. I know lipitor can raise these numbers but I have been on it since I was 20. I started taking Seroquel and Lexapro back in Dec of 2010. I also take Clonazepam 2 mg once a day, I have been on this since I was 19. I went in and had my blood work done and my liver enzymes were elveated this was June 1. The number were AST 50 and ATL 84, I kept on the medication had them retested on July 15 they were AST 90 ATL 125. This means liver inflammation corrct? How bad is it and do you think it has damaged my Liver. I stoped taking Seroquel and lexapro but am still on Lipitor and Clonazepam.

Hi thanks for asking question..

You are taking drugs since long duration.
So yes by using this drugs liver damage can be there and raised liver enzymes...

For anxiety among with drugs behaviour therapy also taken by psychiatrist which can be helpful...

Daily yoga helpful...
Early morning exercise good.
Endulge your self in some activity like games or jogging...
Family member support is also helpful.

Gradually shift only over to alprazolam and finally try to leave drugs if behaviour therapy and other measures working.
Take care of liver with low fat diet....
