    At any point in time, it usually was one type of SSRIs and a benzo, *plus* one extra drug (like Carbamazepine - an anticonvulsant, Mianserin, Tranxene, Aurorix, or Zolpidem.

    The combination Paxil (Seroxat) and Xanax were used most on average - when you count in all of the "switching periods".

    At the time, I didn't yet question what the "doctor" was doing. But, even now, having much more knowledge, I have no idea what she was thinking when she was prescribing it.

    Maybe she wanted to go on vacation and she needed just this one more prescription to get her 5-star hotel upgraded to the 6-star by the pharmaceutical company she was "sponsored" by. And I am not saying it 100% ironically, if you know what I mean, Iggy.
