True, with the qualification that this is a self-selected group. The people for whom it did not work post less, and that shapes everything we think we know.

Bookmarking. The distinction being drawn above is the one nobody else makes. Taking it to my next appointment.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. The honest answer is that the effect is real, the magnitude is contested, and the individual variation is larger than either. Those three things can all be true at once, and most arguments here are two people holding different parts of that.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud.

Reporting back.

Update: I got the sleep and the intake sorted before deciding it was the drug, and most of the flatness went with them. Not all of it, and I am watching the rest.
