> What I see here could be a classic scenerio repeated over and over. What happens is this:
> You have an encounter with the prescriber of the drug in a situation that opens the door to a temporary shift to experiance a sort of wellness from your depression. The catalyst is {hope}. The prescriber recognizes the open door and uses suggestion tactics to lead you to believe that the drug that is given to you will "work". You believe that the drug (Ritalin) will do whatever it is expected for it to do and it does. Some prescribers study this type of placebo effect and are very good at it. It can involve a lot of tactics, even by bringing in another person in a white lab coat and a pink complexion. This all gives the taker of the drug an expectation that the drug will "work". There are even the size and the color of the pill that comes into play here. (this is not the same as a conversion reaction), it is a placebo response. Now placebo responses can last a long time and it doesn't matter what the drug is. It is the {expectation} that causes it to "work". When the placebo effect stops, then the drug could have caused addiction. Now you got trouble my friend.
