liver enzymes

Did anyone out there have their liver enzymes checked sometime after they quit hydros/percs?  I'm on Day 8 and yesterday I had mine checked and they were elevated.  Not dangerously, but enought to get my attention.  I was taking 8-10 Lortab 10/500's a day a few days before I quit.  Any thoughts or experiences to share, so I can stop worrying about it?  Thanks!

i did..i was taking 80-100 mgs of hydro...so 8-10 pills a day and 4-5000 mgs of tylenol per day..which is tough on the liver...my enzymes were ok and i am very glad.there r other factors that come into play such as genetics, age, alcohol consumption etc....as a rule they do not rise just because u used recently..but it is possible...i would wait a few weeks and have them checked again..just to be on he safe side..i would not worry but i would make a mental note and keep an eye on it
