In reply to Terminology for 'poop out'?, posted by Bob on August 4, 2008, at 12:11:15
> Does anyone know if there is a medical or scientific term for when a psychiatric drug or combo stops working after a period of time during which it was at least partially effective? I know that the common slang term is poop-out, but is there another expression that pdocs would use other than, stopped working?
I think the term is tachyphylaxis. If you search the web you'll find lots of sites.
