My psychiatrist asked me to do pharmacogenetic testing because I'm having issues with meds (like I gained 8 kilos while on amphetamines)
Pharmacogenetic testing is a DNA exam that tests how your liver metabolize a bunch of different drugs and the you get a report telling you which drugs will work as expected and which are likely to not work or have side effects etc
It's pretty cool for a science nerd like myself
But I think the best part is it will test for THC lol. Will I finally learn why I had such a bad time with weed in college? Too bad they don't include cocaine
Though they do include amphetamines and opioids, which should be interesting. Once, a doctor offered me tramadol for a fibromyalgia crisis and it had NO effect whatsoever
