Tips for treatment success

To make sure you’re getting the best results with Qelbree, it’s important that you take your medication as prescribed. Here you’ll find some ideas to help stay on track.

Medication-related tips

Qelbree can be taken any time of day

Choose a time that works best for you.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

If you miss your regularly scheduled dose, you may not have to skip the day. Talk to your healthcare provider about what to do.

Set a once-daily treatment reminder

That’s one less thing to remember, and one less decision to make.

Store your medication in the same place

It’s hard to take your medication when you can’t find your medication.

Consider buying a pill organizer

It’ll help avoid the “Wait, did I take my meds today?”

Try 90-day refills for convenience

Qelbree is a non-stimulant medication and can be refilled without needing a new prescription each month. Switch to 90-day refills for convenience.

Other tips

Aim for progress, not perfection, along the way

Remember, ADHD management is a journey. Be patient with yourself as you adjust to the routine.

Consider including loved ones in treatment discussions and decisions

This can make you more comfortable with your ADHD treatment plan. They can help check in on whether your treatment is helping or if you’re experiencing any side effects, and what symptoms continue to affect you.

Tracking symptoms and talking to your healthcare provider is part of this journey

Don’t hesitate to be open and honest about your treatment progress so they can best help. Communication is key to making things better for everyone.

Treatment breaks may not be right for you

People living with ADHD sometimes consider taking a planned break from treatment. Know that this could lead to a return of ADHD symptoms and have other negative effects. If you’re considering a break, have a conversation with your healthcare provider beforehand.

Navigating ADHD is a team effort

You aren’t alone, so don’t hesitate to ask for help. You will find your healthcare provider, family, and community can help you on your ADHD journey.
