What has always been curious to me is the wild variations of efficacy that people report.
Recently I was perusing the website
askapatient.comhttp://www.askapatient.com/classreport.asp?class=ANTIDEPRESSANTS
Prozac for example.. 224 people rated their experience. Several commented that it had saved their lives and had used it for years. Others said that the drug was worthless and/or dangerous. About as many people rated it 5 as rated it 1. The reviews are similarly mixed on other AD's.
Maybe SSRI's are efficacious, but only for about a third of us.
warm regards ~Jake
