Hard to tell if it's helping

Chronic Illnesses: Long COVID
Symptoms Treated: Brain Fog - Moderate improvement

I've been taking it for about four months and I'm not sure it's made any difference. I haven't worked all the way up to the target dose of 20mg/day though. I haven't noticed any side effects and with my insurance it's less than $10 for a 90-day supply, so at least it's not a drain on my health or wallet.
