Linkadge, wondering: Are antidepressants the only class of drug whose clinical efficacy you chalk up entirely to psychosomatic dynamics? Or are there other categories you believe are 100% placebos as well?
Right now I'm a bit of an Emsam skeptic, but only because I've been on the 6 mg patch for nearly five weeks and don't note any benefits or side effects at all. But I'm not prepared to say that I think all ADs are "sugar pills" ...
