EDIT: I accidently deleted me entire comment here, intending to just add in this additional edit:

I’ve tried Zoloft (sertraline) and it wasn’t very good, and my 23andme profile tells me that some other drugs won’t be very great for me:

”…amitriptyline (Elavil), citalopram (Celexa), paroxetine (Paxil), and venlafaxine (Effexor). That makes those antidepressants 7 times less effective….”

”…The antidepressant drugs that are known to be substrates include citalopram, paroxetine, amitriptyline, and venlafaxine.”

On the other hand, it recommends that citalopram:

”… 4-1.70, p=0.046). This same SNP, which is in the FKBP5 gene, may influence how patients respond to antidepressants including citalopram ..”

Might ask for it at my psychiatric medication review this week

*Could a mod please replace the original comment too? :'( *

One of the few reasons I might not want to die is the extremely obscure but entertaining possibility than some transhuman god of the future might bring me back and fuck with me even more. I wouldn't have the capabilities, being dead and all, to compete with said god enough to avert such a possibility.

That is one of the most unusual approaches to trans-humanism and avoiding suicide I've ever heard of. Good luck.
