Pharmacology and metabolism

[Meplus-3]

HAs anyone tried the DNA tests for medication metabolism to find their ADHD medication?

Yes. I tried Genomind. It backed up a lot of the side effects that I had with previous meds. I recommend asking your psychologist what genetic testing they are familiar with/recommend. It's another potential barrier when they don't know what to do with the info.

Thank you

I use livewello.com ; uploaded my raw 23&me data.

I have not gotten a report on metabolism on my ADHD medication. I have received reports on how my specific genes metabolize a SSRI that I take for general anxiety.

I have learned that I have several MTHFR mutations. A prominent mutation that can increase likelihood of me having ADHD and my kids getting it.

My parents uploaded their raw data to LiveWello as well as my daughter(19 yrs).

It is amazing to track the genes / mutations.
