The private practitioner (whether psychiatrist or general practitioner) should be alert to problems of safety, toxicity, and side effects. Unless he is an expert in psychopharmacology, he should restrict himself to prescribing only a small number of drugs and should determine by clinical trial the optimal dosage for each patient.
