You are saying that you've AP's must be good because you've seen so many patients improve on them.
Well, lets think back to the early days of L-dopa usage. A Parkinson's patient was brought out on stage, shaking, perhaps in a wheelchair. He was then taken backstage and administered l-dopa. The patient then walks back in, dances around, plays the piano etc.
To the untrained observer, l-dopa was the cure.
It wasn't till later that researchers realized that l-dopa was actually speeding the progression of the illness, and enhancing dopaminergic cell loss in movement areas of the brain.
So, I would argue that it is necessary to look very long term, to see if these drugs are really benifitting the patients.
Whats the point of winning a battle if you loose the war?
