Potential downside - the more aware you are of side-effects, the more likely you are to experience them: > It has been shown that, due to the nocebo effect, warning patients about side effects of drugs can contribute to the causation of such effects, whether the drug is real or not. This effect has been observed in clinical trials: according to a 2013 review, the dropout rate among placebo-treated patients in a meta-analysis of 41 clinical trials of Parkinson's disease treatments was 8.8%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocebo |
