This response is 3 years after the initial question "Has anyone had genetic testing that altered their treatment plan or improved their condition?" but the answer is 'yes, I have'. If it is still of interest I can give more details.

Hi, @flind, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm guessing you were on venlafaxine (Effexor) at some point and tapered off? How did that go?

How did you happen to have the genetic testing that provided some direction for your treatment plan (I'm presuming for depression)? What did you learn from the results?
