Has anyone had genetic testing done to see which meds would work best for you?

I've heard that the Mayo Clinic does genetic testing on people in order to prescribe the best possible antidepressant meds for them. I would like to know if anyone has had success with this. Also, do you know if Medicare and Medicaid pays for the tests?
