Any of these treatments seem reasonable, but it doesn't make sense to bounce around until you know if what you are doing is working. Usually you need 3-8 weeks to know if something is working. Your dad needs to see someone who knows what s/he is doing. And it needs to be the same person each time so that they are familiar w/ what is going on w/ your dad. Also, it is best to see a psychiatrist rather than a general practitioner. GPs can get in over their heads fast. Also, does your dad see a therapist? That could be really helpful AND s/he could help him figure out if what the MD is doing is helping.
Best,
EE
