Today the doctor and I discussed gene testing for antidepressants waiting for my results. Hopeful that may give some insight on meds that may work well for me.

I’ve heard of that. Not quite sure I believe it but if it helps narrow down the choices that is good.

Good for you Adam, my test was from Genesight and really helped me eliminate a lot of the guess work. I had tried over a half dozen meds and none of them worked for my depression. I started on one the test recommended for me and it has worked well. It also showed that none of the meds I had tried before were right for me. Mine was also covered by insurance.
