To be more clear, the T3 and lithium were to boost an AD, presumably from earlier phases of the study, that was already being taken.
But the Star*d while a good start doesn't take into consideration the incredible complexity of individual response to ADs. It's the best study so far, but still the methods are necessarily crude. There are too many possible combinations, and so much must be based on evaluation of individual responses.
I'm with you on the great importance of as many available options as possible, until the biological substrate comes into focus, and/or much better treatments become available, and their uses understood.. Also that Pdocs need to think of treatments as tailored to individual responses, esp. in the case of TRD, rather than general formulas.
