Thanks for the posting.

A couple suggestions on your concerns over time losses in getting to a positive response:

1. The treatment resistant are a minority to begin with, so each subcatagory is yet smaller.

2. My doc, at the signs of 1-2 SSRI non-response will go to multi-drug therapies blanketing what the failed drugs do not affect, and to a high dose in order to elicit the fastest response. The components with intolerable or undesireable side effects as noted while titrating up can be dropped or substituted. Provided a response occurs, eliminating non-contributing drugs (usually starting with the one's least tolerated) then reducing dosage can be done until response declines. Shoot first and ask questions later when finesse' fails.
