I am not a Doctor!  You have raised liver enzymes.  I have Hepatitis C and have had it for 40 years.  It also causes raised liver enzymes.  I also take E & P.  That raises it more. 
If you drink, that can increase the problem-so can tylenol.
Some forms of administration seem to be worse than others.  pills seem to be worse, while patches and injections are less because they at least partially bypass the liver. 

Hopefully, your body will adjust-or maybe your doctor will change administration methods which is what he has already started to do.  The liver can repair itself and you shouldn't freak out, just work with him to find what is best for you.  Good luck.
