Sorry to hear this Wolf! ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ Do you attribute your symptoms to anything or did they just appear out of the blue? What changes in your appetite are you noticing?

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.92 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Levothyroxine - 25 mcg

They appear on some days only to disappear later. Can't tell what is causing them. I just don't feel the need to eat anything at all until appetite makes a sudden reappearance. I am better now

If this is from the taper, it should get better within a week or two

@Catina I will survive the bad mood, the important thing is I have an appointment with my clinician tomorrow morning and wondering how to discuss with them the liver, depakote and tapering progress.

Hey wolf! The most important thing with fatty liver is exercise! The liver can fully regenerate itself (except for scar tissue). I know its difficult to exercise while tapering but a little goes a long way! Do what you can. Every bit counts
