Reminds me of how studies on buspirone found that those who had previously used a benzodiazepine for anxiety did not respond to Buspar. The investigators did all sorts of stupid theorizing about this, but it is obvious that what that shows is that once someone knows what a real anxiolytic drug is like, they do not readily respond to placebos.
>>Just pulling this out of the thread cause I am a bit exhausted. Buspirone is and was mislabelled and mismarketed, and is worse than imipramine for benzodiazepine withdrawal (a set of investigators was foolish enough to waste money, no doubt funded by Bristol Myers Squibb, on this study) but that does not make it a placebo.
