If y’all have had really bad side-effects look into pharmacogenomic testing, it can help rule out bad medicines before you try them
I had one done a while ago and it marked a ton of medicines that I had already tried, (and had bad effects from) and a bunch I hadn’t tried yet. Since then, I’ve had much fewer bad experiences
notes
the one I did had a specific brand name but I don’t remember what it was. (It was a while ago) I’m pretty sure this is what it was though
you might have to remind your doctor about it when they’re prescribing medications, this still isn’t very well known afaik
this isn’t sponsored/paid/other bullshit, this is an actual recommendation (though I felt like one of those ‘ask your doctor if !@#$ is right for you’ american commercials the entire time writing it)

I also had testing for psychiatric medication-gene interaction, and can recommend it as worth it (and am in the US)
