#qelbree

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.

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.

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! 😣😵

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.
