In reply to What would you class as a partial response?, posted by denise528 on August 20, 2002, at 12:03:38
> I suppose it would be alleviation of some of one's symptoms, how would you know whether or not it was just the side effects helping. For instance Effexor made me feel more relaxed but in some ways made me feel more depressed would that be a partial response? Sertraline is giving me a bit more energy but is just making me feel numb and couldn't care less about anything, is this a partial response?
i believe partial response is defined as 50% - 75% remission of symptoms... "some" response is 25% - 50% remission of symptoms... "no" response is 0 - 25% remission of symptoms... and full remission is 75% - 100% remission... though i'm not sure... hopefully someone who knows better will correct me ...
