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

No.

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

Interdose restlessness is distinct from the original symptom and worth naming separately. Currently on a long novel myself.

No wrong answers, and yours is a good one.

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

Correct.

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

Half of what people describe as tolerance is a change in the underlying condition, and the two need different answers. Currently on a long novel myself.

No. Not on a long novel but the pattern is familiar.

Same here.

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

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

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