I have found that most doctors have multiple options available so they often can accommodate your preferences and many are open to hear what you hope for in a med and what you prefer not to take. The DNA test may also provide some guidance but the opinion of the doctor to me is a more reliable guide than the DNA test. That test may rule out some meds but may not be a good indicator of what will be most beneficial for helping you mitigate the symptoms you experience.
-----I agree. Thanks!!!!!
