Yes, it's my take that savvy doctors know they must blend meds, know which med to use off label, for uses they are not approved for, play with doses, etc. as not everyone is lucky enough to just take one med that completely solves the problem.
Plus most people have more than one disorter, though there is typically one that is a primary disorter so treatment options need to be looked at for the various issues. For example, klonopin works great for anxiety, but may agrivate depression so a combo with a anti depressant, mood stabilizer or even mild stimulant like provigil can be the solution.
A real key to success with this is having a doctor that isn't phobic about certain classes of meds like benzo's and maois, not to mention having knoweldge to blend pr try other psycho tropic meds.
The good news is it seems more and more docors are being taught by the true experts on treatment options for the various mental disorters. That's why I feel there's an answer, a solution for just about everyone regarldess of past failures. That said I know it's just trial and error with these meds, but at least there's hope and you've got to keep trying to you find something that improves the quality of life. Rob
