I agree with what you are saying. In theory we should be able to predict a drug responce by using its properties, but the varibles are often out of the realm of hypothesis.
What I am saying is that (you being the exception) it is more often than not the case that some degree of responce can oftentimes be predicted based on the proposed workings of the drug.
I have responded to most SSRI's similarily (exception of dirty prozac) and have responded to most dopaminergics similarly. I have also found I respond to most noradrenic enhancing meds similarly. By no means is my experience inclusive, but I think it can *sometimes* be a good place to start.For the most basic example, you may not want to give a depressed schitzoprenic wellbutrin as an antidepressant (because of dopaminergic interactions) while celexa might be more suitable.
