The cubicle solved that problem but it is so simple that the circumstances for exposure can be created almost anywhere. <BR/><BR/>If exposure decreases symptoms decrease. An increase would cause a responding increase in symptoms.<BR/><BR/>It would take only one or two subjects with this exposure to change study results. <BR/><BR/>VisionAndPsychosis.Net is the only source of information about this phenomenon on the Internet.L K Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14554683486868868264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20491356.post-1137134098430595622006-01-12T22:34:00.000-08:002006-01-12T22:34:00.000-08:00Good post..

Typically, when researchers ask patients whether they think they're getting placebo or active medication, about 75% of patients on placebo think they're getting the active drug! However, in some cases (like yours) the investigators don't do a very good job of ensuring that the placebo looks, feels, and tastes exactly like the drug (it's supposed to). My guess is that the taste-free coating on your placebo pill was too thin, such that it quickly dissolved and allowed you to taste the sugar (that shouldn't happen). Make sense?Psych Pundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142192843174514975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20491356.post-1136601838218214502006-01-06T18:43:00.000-08:002006-01-06T18:43:00.000-08:00I saw your reply on Dr. Deb's blog and this entry ...I saw your reply on Dr. Deb's blog and this entry caught my attention.<BR/><BR/>Years ago I was involved in a clinical study for anxiety/depression with Zolot. <BR/><BR/>The particpants were told some will get the " medication" and some " placebo". My gut instincts are very strong and I just knew that I ended up with the Placebo.. Why ..because the pill was sweet! <BR/><BR/>I was really upset but wanted to be 100% sure because the DR's don't know themselves as we were told. <BR/><BR/>I went to a nearby drugstore..Told the pharmacist the situation and if I can just " taste" 1 zoloft pill. I was determined and convincing because he ended up giving me one..I was actually shocked he did but I was right..The medication was bitter as I knew it would be.<BR/><BR/>I called the Dr. who was in charge of the Study and dropped out. <BR/><BR/>My question is..Is there such a thing as a " bitter" tasting placebo pill?Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611373626846060991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20491356.post-1136596580065077032006-01-06T17:16:00.000-08:002006-01-06T17:16:00.000-08:00The Power of the Placebo effect never ceases to am...The Power of the Placebo effect never ceases to amaze me... <BR/><BR/>Looking forward to your next post.
