Ask your provider about doing a Genesight test. It tells you what psychotropic drugs are most likely to work for you.

There are 22 Antidepressants. There are three that are genetically likely to work for me...

You're being influenced by a company trying to sell a product that doesn't do what they claim it does. These tests do not tell you if a medication will work or not, it gives some information on metabolism or some information on other genetic factors. It's highly dubious any of this provides any information that gives better outcomes other than taking a good history and having knowledge of drug metabolism.

Ask professional and they will tell you ..

It worked for me. When I tried the medications listed as "Use as directed" I got better results.

You don't have to agree with me but unless you have evidence of your claims, don't discount what may work for others. Let's help one another find solutions based on results, not social media fear mongering.

im glad it worked for you, but it does not work for everyone.. that was written by a psychiatrist online not me..i just copied and pasted it.

It does make a professional's job easier I would think but frankly I think big pharma stands to lose the most. People like me won't be buying drugs that don't work for them.

And no copy and paste without a source. It sounded rude. All is forgiven. 😎

Back on topic.

I'm back on Ketamine again. I had to stop in March because the mania was so bad. I'll post later if it's working or not.

It's like the meds put up a wall and the depression punches through it. Then the meds patch the hole only to have it punch through again later.
