Please ask your rheumatologist or any of your healthcare pros for genetic testing. Genesight is what my doctor used, and only one of the antidepressant drugs was suitable for me. My sister had been on a myriad of different drugs over a 20 year span and nothing had been optimal treatment until she was gene-tested and the best drug was found suited to her makeup. And , of course, no surprise that the same drug was best for us both. Good luck!

That’s a really great point! I forgot about that. I had pharmacogenomic testing as well, and it did highlight two popular antidepressants uses for pain that I might have difficulty tolerating. There’s more research in that area so they were able to specifically advise a much smaller dose if it ever became necessary.
