Placebos aren't the only things to loose effectiveness over time.
Antidepressant "poop out" is being studied more and more.
Thats probably the biggest complaint we have here: "such and such a drug worked, and now it no longer works".
Tollerance to a pharmachological effect is one possability, loss of placebo effect is another.
