Wellbutrin
Question: After taking Wellbutrin for about a year, following Serzone and Prozac, my GGT liver enzyme is now elevated to 90. Is this a side-effect of Wellbutrin or should I be concerned?
Answer: Wellbutrin is a drug that can affect liver function. Whether this is due to the Wellbutrin or a radon elevation due to other numerous factors which can elevate liver function needs to be checked. This is usually accomplished by stopping the Wellbutrin and seeing if the liver enzymes return to normal. Restarting the Wellbutrin and rechecking the liver functions will answer the question. There are so many different causes of elevated liver functions that I would be reluctant to stop a drug – if it is working – without establishing that it is the cause of the elevated liver functions.
