PGX Genetic Testing for Medication

[Tatiana1]

Hi, can anyone who has had this test give feedback on whether it helped you with choosing the right medication? 

I'm too scared to try antidepressants again because of my horrific experience trying them feeling like they were making me crazy. Thinking of getting this test.

Thanks
