Your anxiety medication should work with your body, not against it.
Most people try 4–5 anxiety medications before finding one that works. Your CYP genes determine how you metabolize SSRIs, SNRIs, and benzodiazepines — and why the wrong one can make anxiety worse.

Anxiety patients cycle through SSRIs, SNRIs, benzodiazepines, and buspirone — often for years — before finding something that actually helps.
Side effects making anxiety worse
Weight gain, insomnia, emotional blunting, nausea. The wrong medication can create new problems on top of anxiety.
“I've tried everything”
Most patients try 4–5 anxiety medications before finding one that works. Each failed attempt takes 4–6 weeks to evaluate.
Fear of trying yet another pill
After multiple bad experiences, starting a new medication feels terrifying. You shouldn’t have to guess again.
Prescribing based on guesswork
Most psychiatrists prescribe based on general guidelines, not your individual genetics. Your CYP genes tell a different story.

Three steps to the right anxiety medication
Upload your DNA file
23andMe, AncestryDNA, Nebula, MyHeritage, or any VCF file. It takes 30 seconds.
We analyze your drug-response genes
Your CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and other pharmacogenes are checked against PharmGKB and CPIC guidelines — the same databases your psychiatrist should be using.

What people discover about their anxiety meds
After years of trying different medications, I finally did genetic testing and found out I have slow COMT and slow MAOA. Changed everything.

I tried 4 SSRIs before someone suggested pharmacogenomics. Turns out I'm a poor metabolizer of CYP2C19. I was getting side effects because the drug was building up in my system.
— Reddit user
The side effects from the wrong anxiety meds were actually making my anxiety worse. Knowing my genotype would have saved me two years of suffering.
