Interesting. Did you have the genetic test done?
When I say "They don't test for this gene or your folate levels" I mean as a normal part of psychiatric practice. At least in my experience. The one psychiatrist I had who prescribed it for me didn't mention a thing about polymorphisms or testing folate levels. Just a shot in the dark I guess. I don't imagine it can hurt you. I don't see why it is prescription.
