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

Access to mugs should be on the clinical questionnaire.

Same here.

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

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

Everyone here blames the drug. Half the time it is the appointment schedule, not the molecule. Same for me with a symptom diary, unfortunately.

It gets smaller. Not easy, smaller. That distinction kept me going.

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

Half of what people describe as tolerance is a change in the underlying condition, and the two need different answers. Not on a symptom diary but the pattern is familiar.

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

Ten percent cuts. Slower is faster.

How do you tell the difference between the drug working and just a good week? How long have you been on a symptom diary?

Reference ranges differ between labs, so comparing two reports is close to meaningless. Not on a symptom diary but the pattern is familiar.

Same here.
