I called and they emailed them to me! They were mailed to my pnurse on September 9th! I looked at the link they emailed. Invega, which I reacted to so badly in June was on the green list! Wtf?? Vraylar was also on the green list which is what I take now without side effects. Lots of antidepressants on the yellow list and Wellbutrin was on the red list! I took that for so long! That’s all I can remember except I am at normal risk for SJS. That’s good to know. Pdoc will go over them with me on the 16th.

They test 60 drugs so the above is just what I could remember.

Awhile back my pdoc also order genetic testing and I had a similar experience where some meds I did not respond well to were in the green and meds that did work for me were in the red.
I hope your results can help you out in the way you are hoping they will! __________________ Lamotrigine: 300 mg Bupropion: 150 mg Risperidone: 3 mg |

My pdoc wants me to do genesight testing. When she asked I was in a really creatively paranoid state of mind and didn't want the Prussian government to look at my alien DNA and ship me to Sri Lanka...
Anyway, genesight just looks at 15 genes that deal with metabolizing psych meds and Structural genes determine enzyme production, but outside factors can affect the enzymes that breakdown the meds too, and the Genesight testing doesn't account for that (although I think they do take cigarette smoking into consideration), which could be why some meds in the green don't work and some in the red do, and probably why some meds didn't work years ago but if someone tries them again they have a chance of working. __________________ [Insert thought-provoking and comedic quote here] |

I did a similar test and had similar results. A bunch of red, yellow and green meds. It was missing vraylar and latuda, and some others so it wasn't that helpful.
Wellbutrin was flagged as red, but we already knew it wasn't working so this just confirmed it. This type of test looks good on paper but, for me anyway, had very little value. __________________ * Dx: Unspecified Bipolar and Related Disorder * Rx: Remeron, Prozac, Klonopin My avatar picture is a photo of the Whirlpool Galaxy I took in April 2023.
