Actually, Qelbree is more commonly known to cause decreased appetite, which often leads to weight loss instead. However, everyone reacts differently to psychiatric meds. Just keep a weekly track of your weight and share it with your prescribing doc.

My mother always tells me that a peaceful mind is key, and we should eat simple home-cooked food. But when it comes to medications like Qelbree, please follow your doctor's exact advice. They know what is best for your specific system.

Any medication that affects the brain can have unexpected side effects on your metabolism. It is highly recommended to get your thyroid and metabolic markers checked regularly while you are on this medicine.

I have seen many discussions on this in our group. Most people on Qelbree actually report losing interest in food initially rather than gaining weight. But if you are noticing a sudden change in your scale, talk to your doctor so they can adjust the dosage.
