[quote=Anonymous]Our psychiatrist warned us the testing isn't always helpful but we decided to try it for DD. Her clincal picture was complicated (ADHD, anxiety and depression) and she was in a downward spiral. The SSRI she was using showed up in the "use with caution" column. She'd had a bad behavioral reaction when we tried to increase her dose so that wasn't surprising (and led me to feel the report was accurate). Unfortunately, the mood drugs recommended weren't a good fit for her for a number of reasons, so she remains on a low dose of the same drug. But the report did lead to adding a medication called Deplin because the report showed she had difficulty converting folic acid. Apparently, this can be tied to mood disorders. Within a few weeks, we saw an improvement. 6 months later, we think of the Deplin as a lifesaver. We wouldn't have known to try Deplin without the testing. [/quote]
