> Not again, how many times will we have these lame discussions. They ARE NOT PLACEBOS! They are very powerful, and for many people, very effective meds. The right patient with the right drug. An actual patient with an actual drug! God i am so sick of this topic It is very clear these meds are really only for the more severe problems. Doctors give them to people who really don't need them.That is why the results vary so much. Take your meds and try to enjoy life people! Obsessing about this here is half the problem. Cripes!
SSRI's are far from powerfull and not much better then placebo, this is confirmed in several meta analysissen.
Augmentation strategies are the key, stahl's heroic combo's for example.
Trying SSRI's as monotherapy is useless.
