I think there are statistics that support your hypothesis.
I believe strongly that exposure to multiple drugs can alter, and perhaps reduce, the responsivity of the brain to subsequent drug trials. Similarly, multiple exposures to the same drug can reduce responsivity to that drug in subsequent administrations.
What better choices do we have in 2011 but to try these drugs and risk creating a state of increased treatment resistance? The alternative is to live and die depressed, right?
