I found this really odd. On the arthritis pills the doctor gave me, it said Fast-acting. My knee was really bothering me just now so I took two of them (it was pretty bad). Anyways it worked within 30 seconds. Or seemed to, anyway.
Personally, I find this a little silly as I cant see it even getting down my esophagus that fast. Are there any research about whether this is due to something similiar to the placebo effect? (E.G. If you expect something to work, it often does, even if it's a sugar pill. In my case, it is a proper medicine, but I was expecting it to work quickly and it did, although it may not have.)
Just curious and I thought it was too long/discusson-y for the questions thread.
