I think others can do that better than I can. Pubmed has some case studies and small studies that support what I have shared.
The best source I am aware of is Dr Gillman at psychotropical.com. A very good site to surf around and read some fascinating stuff. If you haven't been there, you gotta spend some time there.
Other than that I am recalling cases here and at other forums where the combination seemed to work more robustly and usually showing benefits even before the first week was done.
Back to the orginal question, nobody can substantiate anything in psychiatry. Nothing is solidly proven, nothing is duplicatable, nothing has advanced from theory to fact, and everything is experimental. The best we can do is go on experience, gut instincts, and creative guesses.
