The other question is, "Was this the appropriate medication for that particular patient.
Another could be, "Was the patient compliant with

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm very cautious when it comes to meds. Especially meds that are off-label usage.
My preference is to take the lowest dosage possible to address the symptoms AND to do whatever I can via lifestyle efforts so I can eventually come 'off' of the meds (if coming off is a possibility)
