A plain packaging preference and the a fortnight of a routine that finally stuck.
No equipment needed and it costs nothing.
Write it down on paper, in the room, not in an app you will not open.
The first two weeks are the hard part, after that it is automatic.
Anyone got something better?
Following this because I am in the same place and have no idea what to ask at the appointment. A fortnight in on a plain packaging preference and it lines up.
My pharmacist has become my actual doctor and I am at peace with it.
Everyone here blames the drug. Half the time it is the appointment schedule, not the molecule.
Is it normal to feel worse before better? Nobody told me that.
Sorry for the basic question, but how do you actually start one of these diaries?

The last ten percent of a taper takes as long as the first ninety. Nobody says so until you are in it.
Sorry for the basic question, but how do you actually start one of these diaries? Same for me with a plain packaging preference, unfortunately.
Same here.
Fifteen years of this and the function column is the only one that changed anything for me. Also, one page of history, printed, handed over at the start. It changes the appointment. How long have you been on a plain packaging preference?
Interdose restlessness is distinct from the original symptom and worth naming separately. Not on a plain packaging preference but the pattern is familiar.
Same shape here, different drug. The thing that helped was documenting the refusal rather than re-arguing it. They refer rather than write.
You have two changes at once here. You cannot attribute anything until one of them moves.
