Same.

Depressingly accurate. Currently on a backup routine myself.

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

No wrong answers, and yours is a good one.

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

Changing prescriber does not reset anything, and people discover that the hard way. Currently on a backup routine myself.

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

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