John L. and all you other Dr. Jansen fans, I thought you might be interested in some remarks my psychiatrist made at our session tonight. They lead me to believe that he might be receptive to what Dr. Jansen is doing when to be honest, I thought he wouldn't be. Since I am doing so well on the transition from zoloft to prozac, I haven't felt the need to mention Dr. Jansen but I just might the next time I see him.
Anyway, while responding to a question I had about Prozac, he mentioned that he realized that some patients did very well the first few weeks of treatment. He definately felt it wasn't a placebo effect because if it was, those people would cease feeling well after three days. The pdoc went on to say that the people who responded so well the first few weeks were those who were going to do the best on medication.
Now I realize that this is no guarantee that he would embrace the Jansen philosophy. But still, I found those remarks interesting and encouraging.
John B, Cam W., Andrew and everyone else, thank you so much for your helpful posts. It is because of you that I have finally been able to ask the right questions.
Good luck to everyone.
Shirley
