Forgive me for asking, but how do you know it is not the placebo effect?

Same way I know a decongestant opening my nasal passages is not a placebo effect. It is obvious.

After about 10 days my wife noticed I was singing in the shower for the first time in a couple years. She noticed the change before I did.

You can tell because you are not the one who notices the change.

And many times you are taking the drugs just to please someone else not in any real hope of improvement.
