I don't know too much more - just that I have a gene variation associated with dopamine being metabolized too quickly in my frontal lobes. I have the same response as you to the AAPs. My pdoc seems to feel that regular very low dose AAP will have a protective effect against depression, but, so far, I am using TMS as needed, as it has many of the same effects, and is safer though TERRIBLY expensive! Luckily, it's been a while since I have needed it.
You might like having the testing, as it does put medication decisions on more solid ground ( my pdoc is crazy about it).
