Has anyone done the genetic testing to figure out what meds work for your body type? I had mine done. But the first medication I tried (generic seroquel) has given me extreme irritability, 2 days in, so I’m stopping. It’s the weekend so I can’t call the doctor, but I don’t wanna go through the added copay. Only reason I’m even trying seriquel is because ADHD meds made me “emotional” and “over sharing” type of hypomania after 4 weeks, but honestly those were the best 4 weeks I ever had. Something about being not-anxious and being able to manage demands/emotions really hits the spot. I was the most stable ever until it started to tip due to work/family pressure. I wanted to go on my base meds (sub therapy lithium + buspirion) plus adderall 5mg 3 days a week, but he didn’t want to. And I’m just sitting here like “are you kidding me? I found the cup of Christ (you know, the chalice, the wooden thing, the holy grail of… of yeah) combo and we aren’t even going to try with that?”

ADHD meds get put under lock and key and they track your ID when you pick it up and they won’t renew your scrips without a “visit” but the meds that will kill you and make you sick get renewed automatically no questions. I know it’s because of potential to abuse. But damn. It just makes it harder for those who would benefit.
