Your post is excellent on the benefit of genetic testing.

I have not had it but my wife did. She was on a lot of medications and her genetic testing revealed she had metablolic issues with several of them. She was changed out on two of them. I take two medication that have really helped me with my PTSD/Anxiety/Panic disorder but her test showed she could not take it.

I am wondering after this excellent test was done for her why my PCP does not order for me. I take so many medications I have no idea of contradictions. Now I say that but I have a psychiatric medication specialist that has many times told me about interactions of my drugs I am taking and why she does this or that.

The biggest thing here like @kallettla has posted this is not looking at medications with other medications it is persona genetic testing revealing which medications have a contradiction and cannot take or adverse reaction.'

I think when I read so many talking about statin drugs like Astorstatin having such serious side affects while others have none or minor.
Thanks for posting this kallettla.

You are very welcome! I just think it is amazing. It's a new level of medicine. I have anxiety/panic disorder and they tried one of the drugs I can't take! The drug made my anxiety so much worse and I couldn't function at all. My sister had the same reaction. This was years ago, but when I had to get a copy of the Dr's notes, she declared me non compliant with medication. I couldn’t believe it. I don’t see her now, but I wish I could show her this genetic test!
