I brought an excel sheet with color coded cells and tons of notes to my GP when we were trying different meds. Seemed like overkill but I know from experience if I was having a bad day I'd feel like the meds never worked, and if I was having a good day I'd feel like they always worked every time, no side effects.
I also started carrying around a notebook I use for everything, and one of those things is keeping a page for a running list if I think of something I want to talk to my doctor about (I have this type of list for all kinds of stuff, and just carry the notebook everywhere)
