@dorothy1914, I added your question to the Depression & Anxiety support group too. You might consider getting tested to see which medications work with your genetic make-up.

Pharmacogenomics is the study of how your genes can affect your body's response to, and interaction with, some medications. Pharmacogenomics testing is a type of genetic test, and it's a tool your healthcare provider may use to identify the right medication for you. You can learn more about it from Mayo Clinic here:

There are also a few discussions where members talk about genetic testing for mental health medications:
- Why Genetic Testing for Mental Health Meds is Important https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/why-genetic-testing-for-mental-health-meds-is-important/
- Experience with genetic testing to find the best anti-depressant https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/experience-with-genetic-testing-to-find-the-best-anti-depressant/

Has anyone suggested genetic testing called pharmacogentics to you?
