In reply to Some more of O'Connor's quotes...., posted by dj on February 26, 2001, at 14:59:39
Prozac and its cousins Paxil and Zoloft are now three of the top six largest selling prescription drugs. Considering that these pills are really only slightly more effective than their predecessors - that is, only a little more effective than placebo -
False statements here. Paxil, Zaolft and Prozac
are slightly more effective than the TCA's (not placebos) All AD's are MUCH MORE effective, ~60-70 % effective on first try, than placebos. Given a placebo the effective % is a few points, not tens of points. It bothers me that a book is published and held up as an answer with such poor and incorrect information. these fact are well known.Perhaps someone made a mistake when posting this, I hope so and that the book is correct on these facts.
