We All Metabolize Differently

I keep reading where people set expectations where everyone will have the same or similar experience in taking or withdrawing from Mirtazapine, or any AD, or really any pharmaseutical.

As convenient as that might make things, we are NOT all cookie cutter! We all metabolize (liver) quite differently, which essentially means whether or not a drug is compatible with you or could actually harm you.

Enter DNA Pharmacogenetic testing.

I realize many here are based in Europe or UK, but in the US, DNA testing for nearly every type of drug is now available and being used by providers prior to prescribing, even insurance companies are covering it.. It's also available customer direct where no provider involvement is necessary and at a affordable cost.

Educate yourselves, and take control of your health! In just a few short years we will all be shocked and appalled we allowed our providers to dish out these pharms to us using nothing but guess work and viewing us all as cookie cutter.

GOOGLE "DNA Pharmacogenetics", there are several companies that provide it direct to customer worldwide at an affordable cost.

A simple cheek swab and you get a life time report on every type drug on the market to date (even some herbs and supps).

      Hi Lynn

      What didn't work for you?

      And if you're referring to DNA testing didn't work for you, what company did you or your provider use, and what specific test was ordered?

      Hi Robert

      DNA pharmacogenetic testing is NOT based on the dose taken or milligrams taken.

      Either a drug is compatible with you (metabolize - liver) or it is not.

      Please go read about it so you understand it better.
