I wonder why prozac lifted my depression markedly beginning on day 2?
Same thing with zyprexa.
If some critic thinks that is a placebo effect, they are ignorantly mistaken. Placebo effects do not continue to provide improvements that last for years.
I've been in psychiatric trouble nearly all my life. Prozac and zyprexa have made most of those troubles disappear, and they have worked for at least 3 years so far. That's no placebo.
Chemical imbalance? That might not be accurate. But definitely the meds do cause something in the brain to change that effects emotion.
