I told a gp once about how I wanted off the ad I was taking at that time, and she said knowing my family history, I probably need it. Lawlz. Glad your doc was supportive!
She was not really revealing much because I'm still titrating from the Celexa. She did a test quite a long time ago that show a genetic defect from both my parents that they believe predisposes myself and all my sisters to depression. And apparently that is what gone Deplin is supposed to help. As for anything else, I honestly couldn't tell you at this point. Most regular MD's will tell you the testing and Deplin are BS. And I've heard that pdocs, in their typical fashion will prescribe Deplin, but do no research as to whether it will be effective. It costs a lot if money and frankly I would confirm it was necessary before getting it. Good luck.
