As far as I know, Gabapentin or Lyrica are not drugs that Gene testing can predict your ability to metabolize. Psychotropic meds, mood-stabilizing meds, drugs for depression and analgesics. Someone told me the website does not mention analgesics are narcotics but when I had mine done I got a section in the report that talked about narcotics and other analgesics and my ability to metabolize them. It can also predict if you will metabolize it given Med to quickly which means you would need smaller doses more often or if you metabolize it too slowly you could become overdose if it was taking you six hours metabolize a narcotic but say you were taking it every 4 hours. My testing came from a company called Genes
Sight. If you search the web you can go to their site and they'll guide you in from there. They can line you up with a doctor who will read your results or explain to you how your doctor can become registered to request the test and process the results. They send you a package with two swabs in it, you swab the inside of your cheek and send it back and then they send the report to the doctor. Once you have the testing done you can make it part of your permanent medical record and make sure your doctor knows it's there so if they have to prescribe for you when you're not conscious they have some guidance. This is a really big deal. This means for most people, no more bouncing around from one drug to another, being made sick or not helped by a different psychotropic meds before you find the right one.

Is there a specific type of doctor or specialist that can provide Gene Testing? I brought it up to only one of my many specialists and that doctor said they didn’t know of Gene testing to try to figure out why my body reacts very poorly to most all prescriptions. I’m only able to tolerate Tylenol literally. Prescription drugs & injections have caused me serious & immediate issues. Your comment is so true about bad reactions and not being able to metabolize it well. I have TBI from car accident injuries and it’s caused SO much damage in my body. I’ve changed my eating to all organic, no sugar, no preservatives etc, taking a few supplements & vitamins (per blood tested deficiencies), chair yoga & doctor recommended home exercises (due to Covid). I did a year of in person physical therapies prior. Thanks for your input as I’ve read a few of your posts and your input resonates with me. Keep posting 🙂
