My psychiatrist won't put me on stimulants because he thinks I'll get addicted. Keep in mind that I took only my prescribed amount of any stimulant for years. If I abused a stimulant, it was caffeine. Not anything I was prescribed because stimulants are a pita to get a hold of.

Strattera and Qelbree make me want to sleep before I can be functional. Clonidine has become my sleeping med instead of anxiety because I passed out multiple times after taking it.

Please. I just want to be able to focus. I cannot focus for shit right now because half the time I'm passed out.

I started taking qelbree, a nonstimulant adhd medication, and started having severe bouts of rage multiple times a day. It took almost two weeks before I realized what was happening, and any time a medication has caused negative effects I’ve had the same reaction: I immediately attribute it to some sort of witch’s curse or a creeping illness brought on by seasonal allergies.

“Medication side effects sound real bad, but that would never happen to me”, says guy careening towards a wall labeled “medication side effects”.

When I tried Strattera (atomoxetine), I was only on it for like a week because it made me so anxious and paranoid that I convinced myself I had a psychotic disorder. But I've heard really good reviews from other people so I think I'm just a weird case.

Now I'm on Qelbree (viloxazine) and tbh I can't tell if it's doing anything. I'm really bad at recognizing changes in my own behavior but I do know that I've been doing really well in school lately so maybe the new meds are to thank for that. No side effects that I've noticed.

Warning to those who are considering Qelbree: retail price is around $600. Goodrx only gets it down to about $300 so you better have damn good insurance and have that prior authorization ready to go.

On that note, I was able to get the first 2 bottles for around $25 each but today they said I needed prior authorization again or it would be $300. Maybe something changed?

Sorry for my radio silence.

I am currently being mindfucked treated for ADHD but the meds are kicking my ass. It seems to be severely exacerbating crap that I already deal with daily from chronic illness, but amplifying it all and having me try to deal with it all at once. Migraines, nausea, no appetite, pain all over my body, zero patience... but it can take several weeks to level out and show efficiency... 😐😐😐

Ya girl is trying her best! 😣😵

"Qelbree is a non-stimulant and therefore has no withdrawal symptoms" meanwhile I am recovering from a migraine that feels like looking into the cold eye of Mother Void herself contemplating the value of hunting whoever wrote that DESPICABLE LIE for sport.

So I saw a commercial for Qelbree, which is a apparently ADHD medicine and all I have to say is I'm offended

As someone who has ADHD and know a lot of people with ADHD this commercial was pure lies and stereotypes.

Do people with ADHD get hyper? Yes. Do people with ADHD zone out or get distracted? Yes.

But the way this commercial shows it was overly dramatic and stereotypical. It showed this boy at the table for dinner then he sudden stood up and started running around, then showed if he took the medicine then he'll stay still and have a real conversation with his family. They also showed this guy on his phone in class and hinted if he took this medicine he would make him focus in class.

The only thing they kind of had right was one girl zoning out and not zoning out too much once she took the medicine
