Sorry for the basic question, but how do you actually start one of these diaries?

Same. Four months in on a soup and it lines up.

No wrong answers, and yours is a good one.

Correct.

Ten percent cuts, of the current dose not the original. That is the arithmetic that keeps it survivable.

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

Careful with attribution. You changed the timing, the dose and the season. That is three variables.

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

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

The last ten percent of a taper takes as long as the first ninety. Nobody says so until you are in it.

Same here.

Interdose restlessness is distinct from the original symptom and worth naming separately.

This is the correct amount of effort for a thread like this.

No wrong answers, and yours is a good one.
