Say what you would expect to see if you were wrong, before you look.

Pushing back on quinn_sf here. I think the framing smuggles in the conclusion. Ask it the other way round and the obvious answer reverses, which usually means the question is doing the work.

True, with the qualification that this is a self-selected group. The people for whom it did not work post less, and that shapes everything we think we know.

That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.

Moderator note: reminder that nothing in this thread is medical advice, and that clinical claims need a source.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. Worth answering the question that was asked rather than the one behind it. The narrow version usually has an answer; the broad version usually does not, and answering the broad one is how a thread stops being useful.

This is my experience too, for whatever a second data point is worth. Nothing to add that would improve it.
