A wise statement Link. Doctors also like to prescribe whatever med is currently considered to be most 'acceptable', regardless of whether it is actually the most appropriate choice eg. starting a depressed patient on Celexa after all the other SSRIs have failed, rather that trying a different type of antidepressant eg. nortriptyline.
