People disagree on this, but my p-doc seems to feel the same way. If one SSRI doesn't work, it's not likely that another SSRI will work. He doesn't see the point in trying one after another. Similarly, if an SNRI doesn't work, he will not keep trying others. He did go through the whole gamut of AAPs with me, but that's because most did work and work well, but made me gain tons of weight. We kept looking for one that might work and not make me gain weight. (Didn't find one unfortunately).
The exception to this was with MAOI's. Ensam did nothing for me. A lot of doctors with extensive experience with MAOI's don't have a high regard for ensam. But we tried parnate and that made me feel better within days.
