Actually there were some tests devised that accurately predicted who would respond to treatment with either paroxetine or mirtazapine.
It was a genetic test that looked at the coding varient you had for the 5-ht2a receptor.
Based on the test, they predicted quite well who would respond to either treatment.The treatment was randomized, and if one drug didn't work then the other was tried.
I will look for the study. It was done by univesity students and not drug companies.
