No 'Gold' standard: These drugs in combo, often for 'off-lable' symptoms (GAD) are a matter of trial-and-error and each Dr's clinical experience. If patients give accurate feedback, some become good at using them. Others may just try different doses and combos. Discuss it together and ask all you want. How do you feel on this dose?
