Thanks for the post Racer. I had considered the placebo effect and determined that this was not the case given the third-party comments I had received regarding my changes. Specifically, when the medication works (this is the case for all that I mentioned) I get unsolicited comments from third-parties regarding my mood, organization, etc. For example, I had three people in the course of two days (while I was feeling better) comment how organized my office and planning was, I had another comment on how I had been early (chornically a minute or two late) for meetings and calls. None of these people had any idea that I was taking medication.
I guess it could be argued that since I *think* I feel better (i.e. placebo effect) I am not so overwhelmed with daily tasks and these become much easier. However, I don't believe this to be the case given the changes that others have witnessed in me.
Thanks again for your input.
