How it works
We calculate a discussion-priority score
Severity, frequency, dose-timing correlation, recency of any medication change, and interference with daily life are each weighted into a single 0-100 score.

The result gives you a clear summary and priority level to raise with a healthcare professional, not a diagnosis.

Frequently asked questions
Is Side Effect Journal medical advice or a diagnosis?
No. This is a personal logging and prioritisation aid, not medical, clinical, or diagnostic advice. It does not identify causes or recommend treatment changes, and it does not store or transmit your data — everything runs locally in your browser.
Should I stop my medication based on a high score?
No. A high discussion-priority score means you should raise the issue with a healthcare professional soon — it is not instruction to stop, skip, or change your medication on your own.
Why does timing relative to dose matter?
An experience that consistently occurs within hours of taking a dose is more useful information for a clinician than one with no clear pattern, so it's weighted into the priority score as a specificity signal.
Can I use this for more than one medication or symptom?
Yes, run a separate entry for each distinct experience or medication, since the severity and timing patterns are specific to each one.
Does this replace an official adverse-event report?
No. If required by your country's regulations or your healthcare provider's process, you should still file a formal adverse-event report through the appropriate channel — this tool only helps you organise your own notes.
