I heard about it and they did this matching before in local children hospital but they stopped recently because of insurance companies did not want to pay

Recently I have noticed that my AD do not benefit me at all. I have to visit my doc about it and I am not excited about it...
Thank you. I am feeling better taking less AD.

Ehm, here they don't do DNA analysis for med metabolism unless you have cancer. It seems to be very expensive. I know I likely am a poor CYP2D6 metabolizer by experience with meds that are only metabolized by CYP2D6.

Most of times doctors are reclutant to give older antidepressant (tricyclic and MAOI) when the newer ones don't work and are more likely to add an antipsychotic or mood stabilizer. I got some beneficial effect form a low dose of a tricyclic one.
