yes, most definitely. Not all on it will get liver damage, but my son did. He went to the doctor's to find out why he got very sick with only 1 alcoholic drink (beer), he was also tired, and had been gaining weight. After testing, they found he has NASH. A non- alcoholic hepatitis liver disease . They (medical institutes ) don't have enough information, studies are (hopefully) in progress. The liver is enlarged and fatty, with liver enzymes elevated. First is to change your diet, low fat, lower potions, and exercise. This disease can progress fast, slow, and "may" be reversed. Now, I'll let my son know about the very small dose of Lexapro he has been on for 8 years is a good reason now to go off. Now I will research what anti depressant might be more suitable.

Any suggestions? from a concerned, most loving mom .... hope this is of help to others.
