Has Anyone Had The Genetic Testing Done Yet?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was able to have it done about a month ago, because of my physical illness and the best pain medicine to treat it with. Also, it is suppose to show what medicines help depression best.Among other things. Will let you know what they say in the next few days

Today I got the results of my DNA testing. It shows categories for all things that could probably need treating. Such as pain, depression,anxiety, antibiotics, cardio etc. I am on Wellbutrin 300 xl. The DNA test showed that it will not work for me as well as others would. And I have been on it for several years. I had a thought that it wasn't working but I was afraid to change because maybe it was working more than I thought. But, I am on two others with it, so maybe the two others were picking up the slack from it not working.
Tomorrow, I will send a copy to my psychiatrist.
It showed I am on the right pain medication.
Funny, Ativan was one that my body wouldn't accept it as well.
All other anti anxiety meds would work.

Now, I am nervous about having to change my Wellbutrin. Once I get stable, or in between worse or better, but not good. I worry about trying another one. I have a lot of research to do to be able to read my DNA report and understand it.

But, I will keep you updated when I learn something new. Has anyone else had this done?
