I think that you can tell that many of us can relate to your experiences.
I happen to work in a behavioral health clinic. One of the things we started to do last year, because the psychiatrists were getting frustrated with "practicing" medicine, is doing a Genesight test.
We use it to test people to see which antidepressants, antipsychotics and pain management medications are best for someone. The report looks like a traffic light for each category. It indicates which are the best and worst medications for your genetic make up. I, of course, had it done out of curiosity.
The most interesting thing that I learned about myself, had nothing to do with medications, per se, but that I was not properly metabolizing folic acid. Lack of folate can contribute to depression. I just started on a regime of folic acid, b-12, and the other "B's" like a prenatal vitamin, trying a few different brands to see if, over the next few months, it makes a difference.
Just a little different way of looking at our situations. Something different will work for each of us. You are far from being alone. All the Best, Rumor
