i now just take xanax as needed which works out much better.
A DNA analysis would no doubt have shown that Lexapro is one of those medications you should avoid while Xanax will perform much better in your body. There may be other drugs that will outperform even Xanax.
Ask your doctor if a "Drug Metabolizing Enzyme Genotyping" test is available to you. To this point doctors have had to use a trial-and-error approach in finding the best drug for each patient as well as the optimum dosage. Now the guesswork will be gone.

Hey, Kentucker. A question:
Many moons ago I had this realization that at some time in the future there would be a humongous computer program that would simulate the entire human body on the molecular level. Every molecule would be accounted for, in other words. Then pharmaceutical companies could "toss in" a drug (or ten, or twenty) and note all of the resultant changes that would take place. Optimally they would be able to "speed up" the program so that the subject body could be viewed 5, 10, 25 years down the road. In this way they could test drugs without having to give them to rats even.
Any news on this? Any thoughts?

One of the kids at work had this done and it's helped some. It's still been an adjustment with the meds but I'm interested in seeing the development of the practice going forward.
