It's a test that tells you which drugs would work best with your genetic makeup. Not sure if insurance covers it or how much it costs but I don't think it was an exorbitant amount:)

They have a test they can run on you that will tell you what meds. would work for you. If you got insurance that will pay for it. That might be your best bet. If you cannot do that maybe talk to your psychologist about it or if thye are not listen to you maby find one that will.

I answered you in another post but I would suggest trying the mood stabilizer, Lamictal, to the Lexapro. It's a great combination:)
