I think no
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
My answer to your question is probable no. The kind of metabolic enzymes in your case unlikely to affect your drug response in view of currently available literature.
My assumption is based on following facts.
1. You had the problem in the past but it was not consistent. In case there is enzyme abnormality there is every possibility that problem will remain constant.
2. You are tolerating a good dose of lexapro currently which is also metabolized by Cyt P 2C19. In case it was defective or intermediate metabolizer, you should have compelled to stop at lower dose itself.
3. Similarly you are taking 2 mg of Clonazepam which is extensively metabolized by Cyt P 3A4 Enzyme. In my view some problem should have occurred to prevent you to take such dose if 3A4 enzyme was defective.
Although at the same time I must acknowledge that the studies are to sufficient to make a conclusion.
I hope this helps you.
If you have any more question feel free to write back to me.
Thanks with best regards
