Qelbree is a medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). It works by increasing the levels of norepinephrine in the brain, which helps in improving focus, attention, and impulsivity control. Qelbree works similarly to Strattera (atomoxetine).
This medication is available in an extended-release form, allowing for once-daily dosing, which can be particularly convenient for managing ADHD symptoms throughout the day. The extended-release form provides a steady release of the medication, ensuring more consistent levels in the bloodstream.
Qelbree is FDA-approved for the treatment of ADHD, but like many medications, it may also be used off-label for other conditions, although these specific off-label uses are not FDA-approved. It is crucial to follow your doctor’s instructions when taking Qelbree to ensure the best possible outcome and to minimize potential side effects. Never stop taking Qelbree abruptly, as doing so can lead to significant withdrawal symptoms. If you need to discontinue the medication, your doctor will provide a plan to taper off the dosage gradually.
This medication offers an option for those who may not respond to or tolerate stimulant medications used for ADHD. From our experience, Strattera tends to have a lower side effect profile in comparison to stimulant medications. Strattera is also more widely available in pharmacies when compared to stimulant medications, because there is currently a significant shortage of stimulant medications in pharmacies throughout our country.
Strattera is FDA-approved for the treatment of ADHD, ensuring that it meets the safety and efficacy standards required for this purpose. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions when taking Strattera to achieve the best possible outcome and minimize potential side effects. Never stop taking Strattera abruptly; if you need to discontinue the medication, your doctor will provide a plan to taper off the dosage gradually.
Qelbree is FDA approved for ADHD, but it can also be prescribed off-label for other conditions. If you have any questions about why a medication is prescribed, feel free to ask your online doctor. We at Reimagine encourage open discussion regarding treatment plans, and we want our patients to be well-informed.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Qelbree (Viloxazine) can help manage these symptoms, improving focus, impulse control, and overall behavior in individuals with ADHD.
Qelbree may be prescribed off-label to help manage anxiety disorders. By modulating neurotransmitter activity, particularly norepinephrine and serotonin, it can alleviate symptoms such as excessive worry and agitation.
Qelbree, typically used for ADHD, may also be prescribed off-label to help manage symptoms of depression. By affecting serotonin and norepinephrine levels, it can aid in improving mood and alleviating depressive symptoms.
Your psychiatrist will give you detailed instructions on how to take your Qelbree prescription. You can also ask your pharmacist if you have further questions.
Be sure to read and follow the directions on your prescription label. If you have any questions, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Qelbree is available in an extended-release form, so it’s important to adhere to the specific instructions provided. It is usually prescribed to be taken once daily, often as a single dose in the morning to help manage ADHD symptoms throughout the day.
Qelbree may cause various side effects, most of which are generally mild and related to physical discomfort. Side effects include headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, and sleep disturbances. Many side effects that appear when an individual first starts taking the medication often go away after the initial few weeks. Some individuals may also experience tiredness, changes in appetite, weight changes, or gastrointestinal issues such as nausea or stomach pain. From our experience, Qelbree tends to have a lower side effect profile compared to stimulant medications.
Less frequently, more severe side effects can occur, although they are rare. These may include symptoms indicative of increased heart rate, blood pressure changes, or severe mood swings. It’s essential to monitor for these less common side effects and report them to your healthcare provider promptly.
Another potentially serious side effect of Qelbree is an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior, particularly in children and adolescents. It is important for caregivers and family members to monitor for any sudden changes in mood or behavior.
If you experience any severe side effects or notice new or concerning symptoms, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have questions or concerns about the side effects of Qelbree.
Qelbree may interact with other medications and supplements. Always consult your doctor before changing your medication regimen, including over-the-counter drugs.
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before consuming alcohol while taking Qelbree. Regular alcohol use may increase side effects and reduce the medication's effectiveness.
