The number of relapsed subjects is inflated by those with unrecognized withdrawal syndrome.<br /><br />If those suffering withdrawal rather than relapse were removed from the statistics favoring efficacy (which, as they were unrecognized, it is impossible to do post-hoc), antidepressant efficacy would be far below that shown for placebo -- it would be distinctly negative.Altostratahttp://survivingantidepressants.orgnoreply@blogger.com
