About 2 years ago, when it was really popular, I had genetic testing done, free because my insurance covered it, to see which psych Meds would be best suited for me. I have suspicion though, that it's either not accurate, there's more to it than what they test for, or it doesn't work...I looked it up online and the articles, one by DocJohn on PsychCentral confirmed my feelings. I had a few med changes with this one psych nurse, the one who wanted me to get the testing done, and both Meds, viibryd, and Wellbutrin, which were supposed to be great for me according to the test, gave me more side effects and I wasn't able to sleep or tolerate them. Though I was on viibryd for 6 months about.

Has anyone else had experience with genetic testing for psych Meds? What did you think?

Now, I'm just on Abilify. I'm trying to decide if I want to go back on Prozac. It was a medication that kind of worked for me (even though gene sight said it was questionable). I think medication has helped me somewhat but not all the way. There's so much info out there saying: Meds are bad. Meds are good. Who do I believe? I'm researching this before I see my new psychiatrist. She does not push antidepressants on me. But I've been depressed, and am sometimes desperate for a cure or relief.
