@johnhans, I have read that a genetic test can now be used to determine what meds will metabolize well for individuals. I plan on setting this up for my daughter. She has only tried one med and it works only half way. My heart breaks for everyone who suffers with depression and other mental illness. I hope that cures are on the way. I know that Mayo Clinic in Rochester is working very hard on that. Hugs to you all!

@windwalker yes there is now a test to tell you which antidepressant will work best, based on your genetic make-up. Some health insurance will pay and some will not pay for this testing. It is expensive so that can be a problem. Now there are those taking advantage of this by stating that the insurance will pay for this testing. After they do not they come after the patient. The same thing can be accomplished the way it was for me by trial and error. If one does not work, try the next.
