Worth answering the question that was asked rather than the one behind it.

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use. Posting only so the count is not one.

Adding the part of the answer the thread has not reached. The distinction that resolves most of these threads is between what is true on average and what is true for one person. Both are real; they answer different questions and get quoted as if they were the same one.

One concrete data point for the thread. Give anything pharmacological four weeks before you judge it, and give anything measured weekly a four-point rolling average before you call it a trend.

Following on from KevinCompounds — and this may be the naive question:

Was that from a primary source or from a summary of one?

OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.

Late follow-up. I did not do what was suggested, I did something adjacent, and it worked; posting the difference in case it matters to somebody.
