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

Same here. Two years in on a half tablet in an organiser and it lines up.

How long before you can reasonably say something is or is not doing anything?

Sorry for the basic question, but how do you actually start one of these diaries?

What is the first thing you would read if you were starting from zero?

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