Providers suggest monitoring for any unusual changes in mood or behavior.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Increased heart rate and blood pressure:<\/strong> Qelbree can cause your heart to beat faster or your blood pressure to rise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mania:<\/strong> In people with a history of bipolar disorder, Qelbree may trigger a manic episode (excessive energy, racing thoughts, or reckless behavior).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Severe allergic reaction:<\/strong> Standard guidelines recommend monitoring for hives, facial or throat swelling, or shortness of breath.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-muted-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:0.875rem\"><em>Call your doctor immediately if you experience any concerning or prolonged symptoms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pharmacist-tips\">Pharmacist Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-be-patient-with-results\">Be Patient With Results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Non-stimulants do not work as quickly as stimulants. It is common to wait one to two weeks for initial changes and several weeks for the full benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-watch-your-caffeine-intake\">Watch Your Caffeine Intake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Qelbree can significantly increase caffeine levels in your body. This could make you feel jittery and anxious, or cause your heart to race. It is generally recommended to limit or stop drinking caffeinated coffee, tea, and soda while taking this medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-check-your-vital-signs\">Check Your Vital Signs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Qelbree can raise your heart rate and blood pressure, providers typically suggest checking these at home and keeping a log for your follow-up visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-manage-drowsiness\">Manage Drowsiness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0If Qelbree makes you feel sleepy during the day, it\u2019s generally accepted that you talk to your doctor. They may suggest taking it in the evening instead. Standard guidelines advise against driving or using machinery until you know how the drug affects your alertness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-applesauce-trick\">The Applesauce Trick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you sprinkle the capsule contents on food, providers generally don\u2019t recommend that you chew the granules.
