How do you tell the difference between the drug working and just a good week?

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

Sorry, probably obvious, but where do you even start with something blank?

Sorry for the basic question, but how do you actually start one of these diaries? Four months in on a formulary change and it lines up.

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