> My daughter spent 9 months in the NICU and got genetic testing for various drugs, with 1 being the baseline expected (I’m going off memory here) and 9 or 10 being “wtf this is super weird”. She got a 9 for bupropion.

I've never heard of that. Why would they be testing an infant for their reaction to an antidepressant drug? Just curious.

The genetic tests use genotypes to make statistical inferences about efficacy and metabolism for certain drugs. Wellbutrin is a common medicine, and the testing company probably had it as part of their panel.
