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

Same here.

Following this because I am in the same place and have no idea what to ask at the appointment. How long have you been on kratom?

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

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

Is a baseline blood test really necessary before starting something like this?

Most of the popular protocol is borrowed from a clinical population and applied to healthy people without comment.

Did not know half of this. Thanks.
