The version of this that has an answer is narrower than the version being asked.

Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction.

For anyone reading later: the numbers in this thread are worth checking against a primary source before you act on them, including mine.

Coming at SleepDoc_PDX’s question from a different direction. Order of operations matters more than any single choice here: establish a baseline, change one thing, wait long enough for it to express itself, then measure again under the same conditions.

One concrete data point for the thread. If you are going to change something, change one thing and give it long enough to express itself. Four weeks is the usual minimum for anything pharmacological on this board, and two weeks of data has told you almost nothing.

One thing that is still open after SleepDoc_PDX’s answer:

Did your prescriber agree with that reading, and if not what was their objection?

Moderator note: good thread. Keeping it here rather than moving it, because the question is general enough to be useful.
