I have my genome and found that I carry a change in a gene called NOS1AP. This means I do not produce enough NOS1 (Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase, nNOS, CAPON) which leads to an influx of calcium through the NMDA receptor.

So basically I have low NOS1 and typically higher amounts of glutamate and there for I am very excitable.
Klonopin as needed helps in emergencies but I rely on a few dietary changes to limit bio-active compounds from inhibiting NOS1. These include limiting a large range of phenol's that inhibit NOS1 and avoiding air pollution (air purifier with activated carbon).
P5P (B6) helps as well because I have issues truing glutmate to GABA via the GAD1 enzyme. I also eat lower protein and zero MSG like flavorings (Pea Protein Extract)
Doing these things has lead me off of all my meds, which is huge.
I also have latent CMV which at times effects me since it increases NMDA receptor function. CMV also gave me ankylosing spondylitis and lung nodules.
