Is this test used only if you're currently on medications or does it suggest a medication that you could take? I think I would be interested in doing it. Is the genesight one the best recommended one?

No, that's for background/origin/possible genetic disease testing. Boogie is talking about a specific genetic test for psychological issues. The proponents claim it can identify which meds will and won't work for you.

From the impression I got the test will tell you genetically which meds you should be able to tolerate based on how you metabolize them. Not necessarily that they will work. GeneSight uses a green, yellow, red light system to categorizes the different meds. They also test liver enzymes to see how quickly you breakdown the meds.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
