Hi, I'm moonlight
September 9, 2026··
Hi, I’m joining the TaperCommunity because I’ve tapered off of Qelbree and am experiencing confusing and inconvenient side effects, and I’m looking for explanations and suggestions, and trying to figure out what is normal and what is not.
Lexapro — 20mg — 3 years — holding | Wellbutrin — 100mg — 2 years — holding | Inderal — 60mg — 1 year — holding | Qelbree — 50mg — 2 months — completed taper

Welcome moonlight. Qelbree is a newer one, not many people here have tapered from it, so your experience is genuinely useful. What side effects are you dealing with? The confusing ones are often the ones worth logging, they tend to make a pattern after a few weeks.

Hi @moonlight, welcome! Nice to have you here.
What exact symptoms are you having? If you go to the Symptoms and Self-Care section you can use the search bar and do a search of what you're experiencing. There's lot of helpful information there. Tapering off any sort of psychoactive substance can cause a wide range of symptoms.
We're here to help and support you the best we can!
