Dr Mas, I confess I am puzzled by what you are trying to say. Just reading your first post, though, you say that the first prescription was "not similar" to the patient's symptoms, but in fact you said it matched 5 of the patient's 12 symptoms. However, whether you call it "similar" or not depends to my mind on whether the symptoms were mentals, generals or physicals; common or uncommon. Prescribing depends on so much more than adding numbers. So I don't think the answer to your question can be a yes or no. Perhaps you could explain what you are getting at?
