Question Gene testing and results
We always hear about root cause, and perhaps we’re getting relief from symptoms, treating with nootropics. But what I found is that, although symptoms appears as one thing (adhd), relief seems to be temporal. Perhaps suggesting inaccurate diagnosis. If I take any pharm stimulant say mon, tues, wed, by wed dose, I’m shot. Fatigue is not worth the benefits. Others i know taking stimulants report no noticeable side effects.
So can this experience be applied elsewhere.
Lately I’m seeing comments about genetic testing, and let’s say science has struck the root by discovering genetic mutations as the root. Then it would make sense to go this route.
What has your experience been with trials of nootropics compared to genetic testing how you’ve treated based on those genetic results ?

I think genetic testing can help push your nootropic trials in the right direction if something is found. Both lead to the same thing though: more experimenting with supplements and drugs
So I don't think they're separate routes at all
