They are obviously rare, I've been suggested very strange combos. Most pdocs seem to lack knowledge about the mechanisms behind a particular meds action, i.e. what it's supposed to do in your brain. Most pdoc I've met have two-three "favourites" based upon which samples they have received from a med manufacturer, one had Lexapro as the firstline and if that failed it was either Remoron or amitriptyline. Sure, if Lexapro fails there's a great chance amitrip will work but that's going from a .22 cal to an AA-gun.
