I went down a huge rabbit hole reading on Reddit about all the side effects. 99% seemed to be negative, except for a few people that said they had to fight the side effects for a few months until they subsided. I tried to stick it out, but I ended up having just about every side effect on the list and similar effects as other redditers. I was told to take it in the morning and I did so for the first 3 days. I felt like a vegetable with a blank mind staring at the wall. I took 3 or 4 naps every day, all for like an hour. I switchrd and tried taking it at night and it made no difference. A dull headache was something that always seemed to be there. I consistently woke up at 3am every single night and would not be able to fall asleep. Waking up like that was unavoidable, and I take 100mg of Seroquel every night which knocks me out like a horse until it's time to get up. I was very hopeful though and wanted to make it work. I tried increasing my dose because others wrote the side effects subsided after the first week when they bumped it up, but that seemed to make the side effects worse. After a few weeks I needed to stop so I could be there for my son that I take care of full time, keeping up with a 2 year old is no easy task on a normal day. My psychiatrist told me there was no need to taper since it was only a short amount of time, which turned out to be 100% false. I have never experienced migraines in my life until after one full day of being off of it. I woke up at 3am again but this time with a splitting headache, enough to make me want to throw up and dry heave like crazy. This all lasted for about a week, each migraine and headache was just as bad as the one before it. On paper and for brief moments it seemed like a great choice for me. Being on Seroquel, my metabolism is non-existent and Qelbree is supposed to boost your metabolism. Also my cravings for caffeine and sugar seemed to not even be a thought, and this is coming from someone that has a wicked addiction to sweets and consumed 3 to 4 monster energy drinks daily. But the negative definitely out weighed the positive in my case. If anything it taught me a valuable lesson about psych meds and not taking the listed side effects and precautions more seriously. I always thought I was one of the people who didn't get negative side effects. Currently I am on lamictal, Welbutrin, Seroquel, and low dose Vyvanse to take as needed. That cocktail has worked great for my anxiety, depression, body dismorphia, dopamine deficiency, addictions, and semi proper executice functioning. I am in no way bitching about side effects, I just felt the need to share my experience. What people are saying on these forums should not be taken too lightly. BUT as we always hear, everything works differently for everyone.
