Well, from experience, I'd have to say the majority of antidepressants I've taken were no better than placebo, LOL. I'm just unlucky that way.

But the one encouraging thing I have to say is that most drug vs placebo studies are short. People are always having their depression come and go in severity, leading to a high placebo rate in depression drug studies. I would guess that placebo response is not long lasting... ie if the studies went for more than a few months the effect of the active antidepressant could be sustained and the placebo response rate would drop markedly.
