In my estimation:
> Is it a good sign or a bad sign if a med works well the first 5 days or so, then not as much?
It depends on the drug. It is a personal hypothesis of mine that many people experience what many call a "blip" improvement in the first week that lasts for a few days and then disappears.
> Is it a sign that it will eventually work?
I believe the blip response indicates an increased likelihood of responding to the treatment that produced it.
> Or does it just mean nothing?
Something means something. Something doesn't mean nothing. Anything you do or don't experience as the result of the exposure to specific drugs and drug combinations potentially yields information that can be used to help guide future treatment choices.
