> How could you possibly know that the SSRI is responsible for your recovery? By noticing their effects? Seriously, what kind of condescending question is that, implying people can't tell severe differences in their own state of mind. Disregard it as "beyond worthless" anecdotes as much as you want, when this stuff works it's very clear and not some "might be placebo" kind of deal, including remarks from other people who notice the changes. > That makes it even murkier. SSRIs take a long time to work, and if you try several of them that's going to take months to years. Better months than the rest of my life.
