this is page 4 of 19 from that DNA test I had done.
The 1st column is the recommended meds, the 2nd column is the use with caution med, and the 3rd column is the don’t use med.

for example, Saphris and Loxapine, and Latuda are in the “standard precaution” column, or recommended med.
Risperidone or Risperdal is in the 3rd column, or do not use.

I think this is helpful, no more guessing.
The report is so long because it covers other types of meds, not just anti psychotics.

Risperdal is the same thing as Paliperidone with a different name. Why are they in different coloumns?

beats the hell out of me - lol
I didn’t know they were the same, are you sure they’re the same?

NiceHat, Invega is supposed to be risperdal as a new wine, not much difference, almost the same

5

is this technology accurate and how much does it cost for such a test?
where to get it?

I’m on resperidone consta and I can handle it, my body could not handle invega. So to me, they ARE different. I had high hopes for invega but I’m back on resperidone. Invega gave me super panic attacks, nearly all day

I’d take this with a grain of salt to be honest. The only 'reliable ’ way to see how meds affect you is trial and error.

There’s no evidence that these dna tests are in anyway accurate.

As you can see, above they put the same drug in 2 different categories.

It’s not the same drug if one version has to make it past the digestive system.

I find the results to be accurate for me, everyone is different.

there aren’t blood tests to even detect you have psychosis, but they do have DNS tests, that’s weird
