It isn't the case that each medication only does one thing. Each one does a bunch of different things, many of which we don't really know... They do different things for different people... People respond differently to the same med at different points in time... Meds interact with each other in various ways.
I guess the only issue is that you well and truly go beyond doing anything that we have any evidence of efficacy for.
That being said... Once one has exhausted the options that there is some evidence for... Then I guess it is time to search more broadly.
