It's not the guy talking about the placebo, it's more the information about anti depressants, the doctors and the drug companies that I found interesting.

So what I'm taking away from this clip is that the drug companies/our physicians could supply us with placebos to useful effect, but do not because they don't want to lie to us. Does this strike any others as BS? (thanks for linking us with the clip)

The Placebo Effect is SCIENTIFICALLY verified. No BS whatsoever. The human mind/body connection is very complex.

Thanks for the link to the story on Placebo Effect-----I'm a retired med-surg and psych nurse.I have seen Placebos work many times in my 30 yr nursing career-------I had no idea Placebos workrd as antidepressants. I really wish cymbalta was a placebo-then we wouldn't be going thru this HELL right now.

By the way, I had to break down and open a cymbalta 30mg today-----I was just too sick all over. I thought I could " tuff it out" on just the prozac 20mg I was started on Monday-----Iwas WRONG!!!!! I feel like I'm on an emotional and physical rollercoaster with all of these CRAZY withdrawal symtoms-----I am so thankful I found this web site---I see a light at the end of this tunnel-----MAY GOD BLESS EVERYONE ON THIS SIGHT

Ironic as they claim it is not ethical and so do not want to lie to us, but they had to lie to the people who took the placebos in order to get data. So this means a % had the placebo and the other % had the medicines, and they even listed many others including surgical placebo procedures. Funny what games they play with us as their human test monkeys. Drs assuring us everything is fine when they know that the world is full of people with our experiences. No blind trust anymore for Drs or their medicines.

For what it is worth I have broken open Cymbalta (Duloxetine) and counted the spheres inside by photographing and putting a dot on each sphere in Paint in order to get a good count, which have ranged from 281 - 286 spheres. I for one plan to take out 10% per day as I have been on this medicine for 9 days now and my Doctors also claim there is no problem and the things I experience they had never heard of. So I will be removing 28 small spheres over the course of a week, and then see how it goes. I want this poison out of my brain before it takes over. I have even read that people have serious problems afteronly 10 days use!
