Ability to plot medication dosage on graph

I’ve been increasing the dose of my medicines and I’d like to be able to track to see which strength is the best for helping my mood.

    Can you elaborate a bit more?

    Do you mean the ability to plot the actually dose amount on graphs or something else?

    I love this.

    The graph could also show which days a medication was skipped, for example.

    A workaround that might be helpful in the meantime: I’ve been recording each new dosage change as a “significant event”. When I view my mood log in landscape, it flags those events on the timeline and I can see how my mood changed after that point. I don’t have to record the same info day after day and it’s a quick way to see when my meds changed and what effect they had. It would be even better if I could view that flag on the calendar view, too, but it works as is.

    For those of us who might be taking medication regularly or trying out different dosages of the medication, it would be wonderful to see how the dosage affects our mood and symptoms over time. It doesn’t seem like this is possible right now? You can reduce or increase the dosage on every single medicine but that has no bearing on the statistics, unless I’m missing something? Thank you, love the app

    As I’m trying out different medications (under advice of a doctor), this feature would be really helpful!

    For chronic illness taking medications is mostly not a yes/no decision but a question how much to take and when to take it. Most medications have an ideal dosage. But it’s not always easy to find. Taking not enough will not help enough with your problem. Taking to much will not better solve your problem, but still increase side effects or even make your problem worse. It would be great if bearable could better assist with finding the perfect dosage. Finding the best way to take your medicine is a big topic. Everything can change the effects. It’s relevant if you’re taking everything at once or distribute it over the day. Combinations with food or specific food can change something. There are interactions with other medications or even with your activities and treatments. Experienced doctors can help but if your condition or medication is slightly uncommon, it’s mostly guessing and trying. As far as I know there is no technical solution for this yet – at least not something everyone could buy.

    I see this is moved to Complete, but I’m not sure where to find the feature. Does/will it show medication by time as well? I’m curious to find out if my moods/insomnia are affected by days I forget to take them until later.

    This is in complete. But I do not see it integrated in the app? Is it not rolled out yet? All my medications still look the same regardless of dose

    We need to be able to see how 25mg was compared to 50mg compared to none ect. Right now you need to make a new medication because if you chnage the dose the app does not differentiate between 25 and 250mg in terms of insights and data.
