The efficacy of such medications is not what we're led to believe - it's actually much lower. The drug companies are quite able to manipulate the data, by cherry-picking studies and many other devious ways. And the placebo effect affecting these studies (and real life) cannot be discounted. More often than not, ADs do not work, yet people are taking a sh*tload of them anyway, experiencing none of the advertised benefits and all of the rotten side-effects.

When retrying ADs that "worked" before but not again, I started to question whether they really worked the first time, or was it just me and circumstances.
