My doctor moved me from one antidepressant to Desyrel (trazodone) and the first three weeks were rough in a way nobody prepared me for.

Personal experience, labelled as such, is exactly right here. Nobody is prescribing.

Changing prescriber does not reset anything, and people discover that the hard way.

Reference ranges differ between labs, so comparing two reports is close to meaningless.

Enteric coatings should not be crushed. The pellets are the delivery mechanism.

How do you tell the difference between the drug working and just a good week?

Ask for the longer appointment slot. Ten minutes is not enough for a complex history and pretending otherwise wastes both your time.

Sorry for the basic question, but how do you actually start one of these diaries? Same for me with trazodone, unfortunately.

Is it normal to feel worse before better? Nobody told me that.

Worth asking what specifically was measured. Pain scores move with mood and function does not.
