Subjective Experience of Erinamax
I would use erinamax daily even if it had zero discernible effects on me simply because of its anti-neurological aging benefits. However I do get palpable effects from taking it. A zen like focus without appreciable stimulation is the first thing I observed. A strongly 💪🏽 positive mood engulfed me that was borderline euphoric. My memory was on point and deeply accessible. And I felt a similar enhancement of mental dexterity as I experienced from Pregnenolone. It’s a very pleasant “in the moment” reality for me and nothing like the other older Lions Mane formulations I have used which can be a bit edgy for me. Erinamax is smooth sailing ⛵️ with the best Yacht Rock 🎶 playing in the background.

Interesting points. Especially that there are placebo non-responders. I won't claim my take is scientifically sound, but it's the way I see it. I'd love to learn more.
​
They found common changes in the brain in the placebo and fluoxetine group. However, there were additional changes and stronger effects in the fluoxetine group.
What would you call these common changes then? And what causes them?
The way I see it those are the placebo effects. The mental/phsysical effects (+ interpretation of them) caused by taking a substance you think will help you.
Or more broadly: the effects of our thoughts on both our body and our mind. The placebo effect would be an example of this.

They state it best in the study.
Clinical improvement in the group receiving placebo as part of an inpatient study is consistent with the well-recognized effect that altering the therapeutic environment may significantly contribute to reducing clinical symptoms.
When you are depressed, changing your environment can help you to feel a bit better. Both groups went through the same change in environment as part of their participation in the study, and both groups saw a benefit from that. That doesn't mean this improvement was caused by thinking that whatever pill they were taking was helping. It's just a factor that can't be controlled for in this type of research, as both the active and placebo groups are going to have a shared experience. I think everyone is so dead set on trying to point at a pharmacological mechanism, when it's really just the fact that the placebo group also went through all the self-reflection and environmental changes that the active group did, since it is just a part of being in a study.
