NOT THAT IT MATTERS, but Prozac is in fact ananti-depressant.
With:
You mean not that it matters, because you don't have a way to argue out of your own hole, so "repeat what I already said tactic here".
Fact:
The effectiveness of fluoxetine and other *antidepressants* in the treatment of mild-to-moderate depression is controversial. A meta-analysis published by Kirsch in 2008 suggests, in those with mild or moderate symptoms, the efficacy of fluoxetine and other SSRIs is clinically insignificant...
Clinically insignificant.... <sotto voce:> for treating depression...
Lilly originally redacted a little bit in their study that showed a placebo, when given by a trusted health worker with the admonishment "Try this. It will help", worked as well as "Prozac" does.
Placebo worked equally well for prozac's use <sotto voce:> as an anti-depressant...
Gold! You could be a stand up comedian you know. Of course, you could be whatever you want, since you comprehend a few basic facts like "I didn't create my body" "I am not my body" and "there's really no need to take opposing views (or random interjected F-bombs) personally" - my, what strange and alien thoughts you have .. ...
Additional analyses indicated that the apparent clinical effectiveness of the *antidepressants* among these most severely depressed patients reflected a decreased responsiveness to placebo rather than an increased responsiveness to *antidepressants*.
Just because you LABEL something "anti-X" doesn't make it anti-X.
Oh come on! Surely you can't be serious about logical discussion - you must be new around here?
Do you understand? The study is showing that it is not, in fact, an anti-depressant even though it is labeled anti-depressant. I was referring to it's actions in the patient, not the label some doctors have given it.
My god! Next thing you'll be telling us you're mostly only into -applied- crypto and not theoretical but unusable crypto. Pff!
... and marijuana isn't even a drug. It's an herb, 'holistic boy'.
This is where pot smokers are completely and psychotically delusional. It is an herb up to the point that you BURN it. Just as any other plant. If I burn basil or cilantro IT IS NOT A HERB.
Now this is a new thought - what would you call a burnt herb? (I didn't do chemistry.)
