Thanks Larry. Is there a blood test to determine if I'm one of the people who don't metabolize the 2D6 enzyme properly and what pain meds (and other meds, i.e. antidepressants) don't use this enzyme? (Not, of course, that I'm likely to get my HMO to order the test even it is exists, they already know I'm anxious, and are likely to just laugh at the neurotic woman bringing in info from the internet. Do you have a link to some authoritive type source I could bring in on this topic?)
