@sophiarose, I had to stop taking octreotide due to an anaphylactic reaction. Due to significant issues with hypoglycemia, I did a desensitization procedure to octreotide and have recently restarted the medication. I, like @phyllisden, don't know of any reason you cannot stop or restart the medication, but I agree with @phyllisden, that needs to be a conversation with your doctor. Every patient situation is different. I have not had issues with my liver enzymes with the medication, although they do monitor them monthly.
I recommend writing down your questions and concerns before you go and talk with your doctor. You may also want to take a trusted person with you to listen as well. Best wishes to you and your journey!
