The DNA study was interesting. It looked at three genetic pathways that transport antidepressants. Only one of my pathways was working. Lab was able to suggest which meds worked for me, and which did not. The med I've been on for twenty years, Paxil, was shown not to work - big surprise. They recommended Prestiq. I've been on this new med now for about three weeks. It has lifted the physical symptoms, but I'm still depressed. This is my third day off Paxil, and so far I have not had any withdrawal symptoms, which I know from experience can be wicked. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I continue to sail through without any symptoms. And maybe, the Prestiq will continue to lift me out of this dreaded illness.
