Having never seen or talked to you I have not idea what "like me" means. To best answer this question I would need to know your ethnicity, past medical history, family history all other meds you are taking as they may affect the BCP metabolism. Are you obese or thin. My 2nd opinion is that someone needs to see, talk and examine you and your medical record to give a proper second opinion
