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

Following this because I am in the same place and have no idea what to ask at the appointment.

Same here.

How long have you been on a long-term dependence?

Same.

Enteric coatings should not be crushed. The pellets are the delivery mechanism. How long have you been on a long-term dependence?

You have two changes at once here. You cannot attribute anything until one of them moves.

Same shape here, different drug. The thing that helped was documenting the refusal rather than re-arguing it. They refer rather than write.

No wrong answers, and yours is a good one. Not on a long-term dependence but the pattern is familiar.
