[QUOTE="ksm, post: 670160, member: 12511"] Ask your prescribing doctor about DNA testing for medications. Our teen daughter is possibly bipolar, but no official diagnosis. One therapist said possible Histrionic Personality Disorder. All the medications she tried over two years were not helping, and some seemed to make things worse. The testing shows the liver enzymes in her body and how they break down certain medication. Some medications she metabolized too fast, and others, she was missing the enzyme needed to metabolize it. It came back with a list of suggested medications, use with caution, and use with extreme caution medications... And most of the ones she had taken was in the extreme caution column. Check your insurance provider to see if they will cover such testing. Most state insurance does, at least what I was told. KSM [/QUOTE]
