Same thing my pdoc said that even in his opinion that ad's are more of a placebo effect. That life circumstances play more a role. Also the hope of the patient that "well now I have a med I am better". Mostly true with infections and antibiotics. I wonder if the TB patients that took MAOI's experienced this same thing. The meds caused the TB to become better hence the patients felt better and literally danced on the units? Since I could go on and off meds with no side effects wouldn't this mean it was a placebo effect in me? With an antibiotic in 24 hours I felt well again. Just thinking out loud so to speak.
