>It may be a good idea to use a faster acting drug along with a slow one (eg. SSRI + stimulant). You can always find out which ones are important by removing them one at a time later. This may not be a bad idea anyway as people too often end up taking cocktails where no-one knows what's essential or superfluous. On the other hand, some may not care about such details and prefer to leave a working combination alone.
