The last ten percent of a taper takes as long as the first ninety. Nobody says so until you are in it. Same for me with a tournament, unfortunately.

Changing prescriber does not reset anything, and people discover that the hard way.

Baseline first.

Same shape here, different drug. The thing that helped was documenting the refusal rather than re-arguing it. They refer rather than write.

I would stop trying to convey how bad it is and start saying what you want them to do. Same for me with a pill organiser routine, unfortunately.

Sleep first. Bad night, bad day, more symptoms. Fix that before changing anything else.

Three questions kill most of the confidence in a thread like this: sample size, blinding, who paid.
