No I never said AD's were 100% placebo. I would just tend to think that depression is probably one of the most sensitive illnesses to placebo.
As such, many antidperessants could very well could be undetected placebos.
I think a lot of their effect is hyped.
I also don't know (for example) if more than half of all blood pressure medication clinical trials failed to distinguish from placebo, or more than half of all asthma medication clinical trials failed to outperform placebo.
