I am now on Latuda 80mg day and wellbutrin. I have been in the hospital twice and now cant drive until Tuesday and hopefully will have slept enough to be safe. I am still having vivid dreams and my boyfriend says that I am constantly moving when I am sleeping. My mood seems to be improving. Now just hoping to make right decision on when to go back to work so it is not so quick that stress sets me back before I get better. We did do the genetic testing this week so hopefully it will give us better treatment options. Mine has been treatment resistant.

Can I ask how they do genetic testing? Why does it show the meds that are most likely to work and how much is it?

I've had the genetic testing. It more or less has all of the meds that have failed. I am going to show it to my PCP.

My psych doctor did it in office. It is done with saliva. I have no idea how much it cost. It shows how you metabolize medications and markers for witch meds will work best as I understand.. I am willing to do anything at this point or I see disability in my future.
