Benzodiazepines (Ativan, Xanax, Valium) are often used as initial therapy for generalized anxiety disorder, though discussion with your primary care physician would be helpful in determining if cognitive therapy would be useful as well.

Can liver be caused by not drinking enough water when taking medication?

Yes, some medications can cause liver damage whether taken with ample water, when indicated, or not. It is a good idea to read the instructions provided for each medication taken.

Many liver and kidney failures have been caused by medications. This is why it is absolutely essential that your doctor schedules regular blood tests when you are taking medications so that the level of toxins in your liver and kidneys can be measured and the medication dosage(s) can be adjusted appropriately or even changed or discontinued.
