Doctor is making me stop for now due to high liver enzymes.

Started in March. Currently at max dose. Started at 233 currently at 206. No issues except nausea (and throwing up 2x) started on 2nd dose of 1.7 but doing okay on 2.4.

Had lab work before starting. Only issue was slightly high cholesterol. Everything else was good. Had labs again a few weeks ago to check on things. Extremely high liver enzymes but cholesterol was okay. Dr. Made me do blood work again two weeks later. Still high. So I was sent for an ultrasound today and should have results next week.

In the meantime, doc called me today and told me to stop. I appreciate the caution cause I’ve never had high liver enzymes before and don’t want it to turn into anything serious, but still bummed with being on max dose and having to stop. If I’m allowed to start again, I might have to start from the beginning cause I can’t see going cold Turkey and then ramping back up to 2.4, not to mention the shortage for lower doses. But I guess I won’t know until I get those results.

Hope it turns out okay. Ultrasound is to confirm whether it’s fatty liver or something else.

Awe positive vibes your way. Better safe then sorry so your Dr means well. If you have to start again you will be fine. You got this far so you will tackle it easy.

Interesting. I had high liver enzymes before starting and now after 5 months of wegovy and losing 40 lbs my enzymes are normal. (Currently 207). I had an ultrasound after a few months after starting that confirmed nonalcoholic fatty liver. Now enzymes are back to normal all of the sudden.

For what it’s worth, my liver labs were normal for a long time at this weight and then suddenly spiked pretty high within a few months (prior to starting wegovy) of a normal lab, then went back to normal just as suddenly.

Hopefully it’s unrelated to the medicine and you can get back on. And hopefully it’s reversible. ❤️

Will be looking forward to an update! Fatty liver disease is definitely reversible
