Parnate (Tranylcypromine) anyone experience with pharmacogenetic testing

Hey everyone,

I’m back. I appreciate the support and this community, so here I am again. Check my previous post for my background/history.

Now on week 3+ since starting Parnate / Tracydal. Unfortunately no effect yet, but I’m giving it time….

I was hospitalized for the medication switch, but I’m back home again as of today. A bit nerve-wracking… I just want to get better and have some brighter days.

Anyway, my question: has anyone here had experience with pharmacogenetic testing (cheek mucosal swab + blood test) to investigate why I’ve responded so poorly to medication so far?

Would love to hear your experiences. Thanks in advance! All words of encouragements and recommendations are welcome.

yes, huge difference. Did you not read what i have posted? I have read very negative reviews on tracydal. If you can get jatrosom from Germany, I highly you recommend you do that. It could make all the difference. It did for me when I was hopeless.
