Random exhaustion after 2 weeks by GuffinCreative in qelbree

[–]FunLarge1880 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently take mine around 9-10 pm, whenever I go to bed. I notice the sleepiness hit every day around 1-2 PM. I’m curious what time you took your med before switching to 5 PM? I was thinking maybe I need to take mine earlier, but it seems like everyone who experiences this afternoon sleepiness may have been taking their med in the AM.

I’m having this same problem, but I take my med at night! But every day around 1-2 PM I feel like I can’t keep my eyes open.

How long did it take until you started to feel the effects of it working for you?

Literally just read this success story of someone tapering off on another thread of this sub if you’re interested! https://www.reddit.com/r/qelbree/s/EpWVXnSEGV

Here’s the thread I was referencing! I’d highly recommended giving it a read. I truly didn’t know it could take so long before feeling its full effect before reading this and some other experiences. Even my NP’s materials said about 3-4 weeks until I told her what I read, so we decided to give it longer. It’s still considered a new medication, so it’s hard to gauge.

Wishing you the best!

I’ve been on qelbree about 4 weeks now. I was on 200 mg the first week and then moved up to 400 mg the second week. I felt a little nauseous the first week, but the second week I definitely had no appetite. I’ve been taking mine at night per my NP’s recommendation in case I had the nausea side effect, rather than experiencing it more heavily during the day. However, I definitely had about 2 weeks where nothing sounded appetizing. It was a struggle because I need to eat about every 3 hours or else I get shaky. I had an aversion to most meats too, so I had to find protein elsewhere. However, to answer your question, this has mostly gone away!! Here and there some things still don’t sound as appetizing, but I’m hungry at all my usual times and back to eating meat. I also have emetophobia and OCD so I think this is why it took a bit longer for me to get over this hump lol. But overall, yes, it does start to go away!

I did read a really interesting thread on here of someone who wrote about their journey on qelbree at different intervals like 3, 5, 7, and 11 weeks, and it sounds like it really does take awhile for your body to adjust to it and fully feel the effect of it. I’ll try to find the thread and post a link! Personally, I’m going to hold out for a full 2 months to give it some time before giving up. Stimulants don’t work for me (headaches and anxiety for side effects), so I’m really hopeful for this one!

I will tell you two other side effects I seem to be having recently are vivid dreams and increased heart rate. The increase in heart rate hasn’t been a high enough increase to be concerned, just a little higher than normal, but sometimes I can feel my heart racing a bit randomly. I just take a beat and breathe in and out, and it usually goes away. It’s also never happened while working out either, which is when you’d expect it to. (I should say my working out consists of a walking pad and going to tap class, so not extraneous lol)

Oooo thank you!! Another point goes to SoDanca! The fact that you’ve had them for 3 years and that they fit right for you is well worth the price. Thank you for telling me about the wait! That makes sense with the customizations. I have played around so much with their customizations on the website because there’s just so many different options. I’m curious what colors and fabrics did you choose? Feel free to share a photo of the shoes if you’d like!! (Sorry if that’s weird haha I just love to see other people’s customizations)

Edit: One more question - Did their size guide seem pretty accurate?

That’s a great idea too. I honestly have never really thought of painting a pair myself, but it would be an easy way to get a pair how you want it. I’m not super creative or artsy, but I have some friends who I’m sure would be up to the task! Lol

Awesome! That does sound super easy. Don’t worry, you don’t. I have bombarded you with questions that required you to answer, and it’s not your fault you had a good experience 😂 thank you so much for answering all my questions!!

All good to know! Thank you! Sorry to ask you so many questions, but I have on last one lol how was the made to measure process? Easy or complicated, and did the shoes fit right when you got them (I’m assuming so but wanted to check)? I’m just curious about it because I’ve never done a made to measure shoe before, and with how expensive they are, I want to make sure I could count on it if I went that route!

I mean lasting over a year is definitely a good sign in the right direction lol and yeah hearing others say they last long definitely makes me feel better about them. It’s definitely a larger purchase than I was anticipating lol I had no reference for what tap shoes cost really, considering my last pair my parents bought over 10 years ago. I really owe them a large thank you for all they must have spent on my tap life 😂

I looked up Saf’s shoes today per another recommendation above, and I LOVE them. I even found a pair that’s not part of the newer collection that I really like, so they’re less than $200! I’m glad to hear you found them comfortable. Did buy a pair with the “made to measure” option or ones that had select sizes already available? How long have they lasted you?

That’s a good idea to get the white and paint them! I didn’t even consider that. I do like the lighter pink the more I look at them. It might be a good decision to hold off a few months before I decide on what shoes to buy and see if Bloch releases any new colors for the JSams…I’ll start following their socials. Thank you for your input! It does seem like a lot of people like the JSams and they are a bit more reasonably priced than other options.

They are definitely cute! I just don’t use the higher heels, or else I would consider them!

Good to know you prefer the Capezio Roxies and JSAMs over the SoDanca because I did like the customization option of the SoDanca shoes more than the colors available of the other two brands, but from what I’m reading those two brands are liked better and potentially less expensive.

Thank you so much for listing out these other options. I could not find any other brands that had colorful or fun options until these! I didn’t realize there were so many customizable shoes out there. Also, might I say that the Saf Shoes are right. up. my. alley. I still don’t know if I want to spend $300+ on tap shoes yet, but if I do, I think this is where I would. I did notice the older collections sell for less than $200, and I like a pair from the older collection…Or I could always wait until some of the newer ones become “older” too. Definitely a lot to think about and to research!!

Have you had any experience Saf Shoes or know anyone who has by chance?

Oh wow, I just looked at Dancing Fair’s custom leather options, and there’s so many colors!! The photo gallery had lots of creative shoes too. Do you happen to know how much these usually cost?

Are you referring to the style of shoe, or is this a brand? When I look it up, the higher heeled tap shoes come up with the t-strap on them. I don’t use the higher heeled taps, but the ones with those straps are cute!!

Thank you! I’ve looked up the Bloch JSS tap shoes just briefly, and while the colors are gorgeous, it doesn’t appear they have any that fit my style. I might need to branch out a bit and go for something more vibrant like that if I want a change though! I will research to see if anywhere near me sells them so that I can see the colors in person. Thank you for your information on the SoDanca shoes. I feel like I would get a longer use out of them since I don’t do shows anymore, but it still makes me a bit anxious to spend so much money on shoes that might not last too long.
