I have those mutations but double copy of MTHFR C667T. I havent heard of those mutations affecting meds. I have other mutations which certainly do affect meds and can cause a lot of issues around them and has caused me issues.

Did you run your results into genetic genie and get the detox results. It will tell you then if you have mutations in which trouble detoxing certain drug groups.
