It appears that your liver is working harder, and I would imagine it is due to all the prescription drugs you are taking. I would ask the pharmacist or doctor what to do and if decreasing some of the dosages would help.

If you want some support for your liver, take the herb called Milk Thistle, this can be obtained in capsule form and is great for liver health, so is the herb Dandelion, this, too, can be purchased in capsule form.
