    Thank you for posting something this personal. These communities (as a former reddit user) have been incredibly helpful to me thru stories just like this. If we can get them self-sustaining on Lemmy they will help a lot of others.

    Back to topic, I’ve not done an extensive pharmacogenetic test, but I did take one to confirm that I’m a CYP2D6 poor metabolizer, which has a huge effect on function of something like 25% of all drugs in existence! It’s definitely informed my treatment since getting that information.

    Edit: haha, speaking of ADHD I left a shorter version of this comment 2 months ago. the more the merrier…
