In reply to Placebo as effective as Zoloft and Paxil ?, posted by Uppendown on May 7, 2002, at 11:28:39

I know most psychotropic drugs have a very high placebo rate, but I`ve never understand why this would be so in studies. The person in a study knows he has a 50-50 chance of getting the placebo. In real life, of course, the person knows he is getting the real thing so it seems to me a placebo effect would be a much bigger factor. Cecilia
