This highlights the problem in my mind. We're not dealing with very well-grounded science here, we're dealing with statistical improvements from a shotgun approach to medication for a set of somewhat subjective symptoms. Most people who take the drugs are going to get decent results for a while. Some people will get great result for a long time. Unfortunately this leaves everyone else.
