They only measured response for the next three days. Is it possible k has an effect for longer than three days while placebo only lasts three days or so?

Unlikely. I see another comment says "The duration of the antidepressant effect is relatively short (days to weeks) and the antidepressant effect appears to diminish with repeated dosing."
