Fields of nature. Most brands worked well for me though. I have major doubts that it was a placebo effect. If it was, then screw pharmacological effects. I want the placebo effect. I remember that day fairly well (when it kicked in) and I felt so good I just started laughing, out of nowhere. I guess I was kind of high. It worked that way for about a week, then with lesser effects for a month.
> Not to rain on your parade, but that was probobly placebo effect. Everything I have read says that you have to take it several times a day for at least six weeks for it to do much. Too addled to look anything up right now. It may well have been a placebo effect that you experienced.

But it made me feel better than I usually ever had in my life. And it worked quickly. For chronic depression, which I would consider to be at least moderate.
