Brings back memories when I used to joke at my job that my water is vodka, then I somehow used to get more relaxed when I was drinking just plain water. Back then I was an alcoholic, I could imagine that every drink had alcohol in it and it made me feel better.

Mindset is everything! Mind is powerful - choose your thoughts and intentions wisely

I use placebo to cure some of my headaches. Works so long as it's not an actual issue.

I feel like I’d be the worst candidate for these studies because even if I wasn’t in the placebo group, I’d still think I was and wouldn’t report anything. I’m super skeptic of everything, even when I take meds they barely work on me.

How can placebo affect work on you if you know it’s a placebo? Is there way to make yourself belief that? it’s difficult

I have ADHD and take a medication to help me focus, I haven’t done any experiments on my self, but I have. Noticed that after taking my medication it last for about 12 hours, I was told 12 hours or less, but I believe the idea of it lasting a certain amount of time really helps, me with my work.

True, I plan on drinking coffee every time I get sleepy. As I stand up to make coffee and the very first sip, I tell myself wow how wonderful coffee is, sleepiness gone in one sip. It’s just the expectation that it works.

All this proves to me is that our minds are powerful and can be utilized to force maximum efficiency and other things. We just kind of don't, usually. Wild.

Unfortunately believing that I didn't have ADHD for the last 32 years of my life and just thinking I needed more caffeine hasn't worked. I'm in treatment now.

The placebo effect is real . What i did was sell normal coffee at my residence but i backed it up with words and gave it so much praise that people ended up believing it . They even wrote reviews about it, my roomate and i were only just laughing because we knew the was nothing like that, their belief on the coffee did the

That’s why the V was effective and needed regular boosters to keep up the placebo effect.

I think it only works on people who've never tried Adderall.

I have ADHD and am prescribed Vyvanse (basically Adderall) and coffee just makes me feel sick tbh. Idk why but it doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do 😔

[ameliabrittain]

I have tried to use the placebo effect to my advantage by convincing myself of an object or method’s efficacy without confirmative evidence, but I could never really truly believe it. I could not fake it, so I never made it, it was too hard to deceive myself. That’s the real sticking point isn’t it, placebos are most effective when you don’t know they’re there, so their implementation in approaches to wellness, regardless of any practitioners intentions, is at some level, necessarily deceitful.

It was stated in kung fun panda: to make something special you just need to believe it's special.

Adderal influences focus much more so than memory
