My doctor says stay on 1mg but I feel like I need more — anyone have experience?

That holds where the measurement is reliable.

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. 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.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. One practical note: write down what you did and when, before you need it. Reconstructing a timeline from memory three months later is how people end up unable to answer the one question that would have resolved it.

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

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

I am going to disagree with the direction of travel here. The thread has converged on the tidiest answer rather than the best-supported one, and those are not the same thing.
