My values always returned to normal within a couple of weeks of stopping.
People overexaggeated the hepatoxicity issue of orals IMO. Sure elevated liver values arent great, but your liver is designed to filter out toxins and is very resilent and even has regenerative capabilities. Elevated values for a few weeks isnt gonna put you on the liver transplant list. Personally, you should be more concerned what orals do to your cholesterol profile
