    Milk Thistle !!

    Hi there,

    I have been taking Milk Thistle since last 100 days .Doses are 3x30 mg in a day.
    Now, I am fully recovered from Liver issues and is really normal now.Apart from that , blood pressure,weight ( I lost 6 kg in 90 days ),BMI,heart beat, kidney,digestive system every things are normal now.And I am totally living AL free live without any craving.

    As I am still on anti-depressant, I should avoid many drugs at a time to get my memory and self esteem back .I think so, as I have learnt in a website where is mentioned there could be a adverse effect between antidepressant and milk thistle .
    I am just worried if this combination may not be helpful to regain my concentration/memory back ??

    Finally, what would happen in regards with Al craving if I withdraw Milk Thistle at all , or you simply advise to titrate down to 2x30 mg and then 1x30 mg and give up totally.
    Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge here.
    All the best to you fellows.

        Thanks Techie,

        But why should I need multi- vitamin again as I am healthy already ??
        I don't feel any weakness or fatigues ,I sleep well and wake up in time .
        Don't you think the regular and healthy diets /exercise with lots of fruits and vegetables will help enough to keep me fit and grow my memory ??
        And you also don't say anything about the giving up Milk Thistle ?? .I am hopeful to get many ideas from people like you.
        Would like more advises please !

          Hi Dixon

          I'm by no means an expert, but from what I've read about milk thistle, it helps to repair liver cells. I've never read anything that suggested it would have an affect on cravings.
          AF since 6JUN2012

            That's true Pixie !!
            But do you think to give continuity for Milk Thistle as I have got my Liver back to normal already.
            I have 300 more capsules in stock .
            If I continue ,I don't take 3x1 a day but 1x1 a day that's mean 300 more days .
            Is it better to take with antidepressants or give up ??
            Any idea any body ?
            Thanks,

              Hi Dixon,
              Congrats on your AF time!!!!! I am so glad to hear that your liver and other functions are back to normal...thats awesome! I take Milk Thistle also but I take it to reverse and damage to my liver and to keep it healthy. I agree with Pixie as I have never heard that it helps with cravings....I take L-Glut for that...but I would continue to take it just to keep your liver in balance. There are so many things that can affect our liver so taking a small dose daily can't hurt especially if you already have a bunch left. I am also on antidepressants...Zoloft...and I just feel as though the Milk thistle helps to cleanse out the body. Just a thought!

                Agreed, for cravings I don't see it helping there.

                For the liver, well can't hurt! Did not help my liver tests when I was drinking but probably would have taken a transplant then.
