Love having a psychiatrist I can nerd out with. I mentioned genetic testing due to having terrible reactions to two different low-dose atypical antidepressants prescribed at sub-therapeutic levels off-label as a “haha yeah when I have a spare $500 (never) I’d love to get that done” and she literally was like actually. cancel the doxepin. I’m sending you a pharmacogenomic testing kit, insurance usually covers it. So now I get to find out my CYP2D6 metabolizer status. Slay

#personal #meanwhile I’m taking 2 BP meds (off label) + a third med that’s also an alpha-2 agonist with no negative side effects #and I process things like lidocaine and adderall problematically quickly #but 1/2 a 7.5mg mirtazapine gives me brain fog 36 HOURS later #the human body is amazing. we don’t even know what substance benzodiazepines are replacing or subbing for #like we don’t know what’s supposed to bind to the thing benzos bind to #I love psychiatry. we’re throwing darts at a fucking dartboard and sometimes the dartboard is across the bar behind us #and we’re like well this trickshot into the bartenders water glass works somehow. fuck it
