Hello. Disclaimer...I am not
affiliated in the medical profession other than as a patient who is treated by a psychiatrist, a CBT therapist and a LCSW therapist.
I think there are two different classes getting confused info.
I am taking desipramine, an MAOI. I do not have any dietary restrictions. Years ago--1991-- imipramine was initially prescribed--no dietary restrictions either.
My psychiatrist's practice had the GeneSite test kits. I had to spit in a tube and several weeks later, we received the results.
Yes, my insurance paid for it.
I don't like to give too many details because every one of us is so different and we each have our own strengths and needs.
Good luck to all. You are great advocates for one another.
