Guest guest Posted July 30, 1999 Report Share Posted July 30, 1999 Dear Vicki, Congratulations on your success so far.... (my daughter, age 17, who had the surgery 6-1-99) is now taking Ambien for her sleep apnea and chronic fatigue...it seems to really help and not leave her all " draggy " the next day. Why does Tylenol PM lead to elevated Liver enzymes? What is the problem with elevated liver enzymes...what symptoms does it cause and how do you " fix " it?

Guest guest Posted July 31, 1999 Report Share Posted July 31, 1999 Pam, Thanks for your " update " letter...very encouraging! Someday when I feel better I'll comment on the stuff about obesity and work. :-) I think Tylenol PM raises liver enzymes because of the acetomeniphen(sp?) in it....not sure though.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 1999 Report Share Posted August 1, 1999 Pam, It is my understanding that because of the type of surgery we had that we bypass the liver which is where tylenol is metabolized. Dr R explains it much better and made it clear to me that for the rest of my life I should not use anything with tylenol in it. Also, it is important that we not drink alcoholic beverages ......ever socially due to this predisposition to elevated liver enzymes.
