Gene testing results

I got my gene testing results today, which was interesting. There are three columns, green (works with your genetic makeup), yellow (moderate reaction) and red (significant reaction). Paxil, the med that made me feel dead inside, is in the red column. Wellbutrin (which side effects sent me to the hospital), Prozac, Remeron, Seroquel, Trazodone, Buspirone and Zoloft are in the yellow column, which explains why they haven't worked so well (Prozac was great for awhile though, sad it stopped working!). Some of the meds in the green are Cymbalta, Pristiq, Luvox and Trintellix (I'd only heard of Cymbalta). My psychiatrist is going to start me on Trintellix and stop the Prozac. Of course it takes at least a couple weeks for the meds to start working, but hopefully my genes will like it LOL and it'll help better than anything else (and get my life back??). It's pretty cool that gene testing can show this kind of thing, and we can stop guessing now lol

When I was in high school, I fell in love with a guy named Nick, and was so sad when we went to different schools. I really pined after him all through high school, and would always have dreams about him. A mutual friend actually told me he had an LJ, which made me ecstatic..until he read the entries where I was gushing over him..OMG so embarrassing haha. He hasn't updated for many years, but once in awhile I would Google his name, but find nothing. Eventually, over many years, I stopped obsessing, but still thought of him once in awhile (I think I'll always have a soft spot for him though). Out of nowhere, I have had TWO dreams about him this week!! (Last night's was really nice lol, he sat next to me and was friendly.) So weird! Now I miss him all over again..thanks, subconsciousness :P
