I did a gene test....Not sure if my body changed but took Zoloft for over 20yrs for depression and after getting Covid it stopped working and i had bad anxiety which i never had prior.
After my gene test they narrowed possible meds for me down and one is off label because of my test results.
I am no doctor but it has helped a lot.
Maybe this link will help or be a place to start.

Thanks for this! I actually had this done at Mayo, but my prior psychiatrist wouldn’t read it after (and assumingly resented being told what to think), unfortunately. Mayo also found that my meds were “appropriate” but were wrong about that (as well as some other things). I was frankly disappointed that after 21 years of psychiatric care, that I’d actually be able to meet with a psychiatrist at Mayo because I’m well aware of how the meds typically worked in me, but, alas, all they would give me is a LP, DO. I’m hoping my new psychiatrist is more knowledgeable 🤞🏻, although she is also not an MD.
