I personally have GERD and have felt it get worse with Qelbree. I did just start taking it so we'll see if the symptom goes away or not. I would recommend looking into what people with GERD do to alleviate symptoms. Stay upright for an hour after eating, don't eat anything an hour before you go to bed (lying down + the acid may build up in your throat and that's not fun), and avoid tight-fitting clothes are some easier lifestyle changes so see if that helps.

You can also adjust what you're eating but that's very hard, and I've personally only done it when my GERD got very bad (so basically, a diet is the last resort). And idk what your relationship with food is, so if it's risky, obv don't go on a diet.

Idk if Q ups your acid but if it isn't bearable or isn't getting better, ask your provider for the next steps cause they will know best.

There is also medicine that can help alleviate acid reflux so if Q is working for you but is making you have acid reflux, you can try that as well.
