For ADHD "This is a good, thorough review! So I have bipolar disorder I, and no doctor would entertain my claim of ADHD, they also said I'm fine because I'm in law school. But my first year was horrible. My doctor told me she would let me try Qelbree if I agreed to give up my as-needed Klonopin. I said yes. First day, I took it at bedtime. Slept great, slight headache the next day. Second day, I sat down and studied for five hours straight. I was so happy. I was slightly worried it would trigger mania. However, I can function manic fine and safe. I did completely lose my appetite, though, only being hungry once a day or eating edibles. Often, I didn't eat for full days. I got super constipated and had to meal prep. But my confidence skyrocketed. I clean, study, and work more efficiently. My doctor messed up my refills, and I had to go ten days without it. That was rough, I was eating a lot and moody. I just restarted, focus is back, but it feels like crack!"

For ADHD "If you can get through the first few weeks of side effects, they do wear off, and the medication does work well. Expect to have about 3 weeks of sleep issues, weird anxious feelings, feeling like there is a lump in your throat, and heartburn. They all go away one by one, so don't give up in the first month. Constipation stuck around, but it does with every medication for me. It really helps with motivation, the ability to start and stay on task, and my brain is quiet enough to not be totally overwhelmed all the time. I am me again. One negative is it does not help with concentration that much. I mean, I do not hyper-focus like on stims. I do miss that part."

For ADHD "My 14-year-old son tried Qelbree, and it was a nightmare. He was tired, irritable, and constipated. He developed a dry cough, dry mouth, and a red rash on his face, as well as nosebleeds. It also did not help his ADHD symptoms."
