AMPHETAMINE vs LISDEXAMFETAMINE

THE SAGA CONTINUES: Hi so I had my meeting with HR and the coworker I “fatshamed.” She made a comment about how she’s never seen me eat lunch and I laughed and gave a sassy clapback “yeah you should try it sometime” Here’s the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/redscarepod/comments/14nftj8/6_months_of_

So in august Dr Phil decided to talk about his disapproval of using amphetamines salts on kids, he said this pill makes people psychotic through sleep deprivation and he doesn't get why doctors give them out so easily. This is so wrong from someone who is a doctor, there is a difference between a he

My mom was telling me about the diet pills she was prescribed in the seventies. Usually she took half of one a day because she didn't have that much weight to lose and it meant only getting a prescription every other month. \*Unless\* she had a paper due. Bizarre phenomenon, a full pill taken an ho

•UPDATED BELOW • I’ve been a substance abuser my whole life. From grade school to adulthood. Uppers downers and everything in between. I’ve lied and stolen. That being said after I got clean almost 3 years ago I felt like something was off. After I talked to my sponsor to make sure I wasn’t manipula

The WSJ posted [this](https://www.wsj.com/articles/students-struggle-academically-fight-in-schools-amid-adderall-shortage-209d01e0) today and I made the mistake of reading the comments section. The article is actually not as bad as it could be, surprisingly. I've been skeptical of my own diagnosis

A lethal dose can be as low as 20 mg for a cat. And they can nab something and run off with it in the blink of an eye. You turn your back when your medications are out, you may end up standing for 10 hours in a row next to an increasingly pissed off cat in some veterinary hospital. Not an activ

Hello there this is my story (small paragraphs because u know) 1. I knew i had troubles from a while back. I’m a brilliant mind who got far in life, i’ve always had issues in executing, i was kinda oblivious to the why. 2. Symptoms got worse with total isolation, MJ, nicotine, coffee, semi bad diet

Nothing boils my blood more than getting texts saying "hurr durr I'll pay you $20 for your whole Adderall script every month" Also the one time my aunt stole my meds while I was staying at her house, then she called my (now former) psychiatrist and told him I was abusing my meds to deflect blame off

In response to the ongoing shortage of ADHD medications, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved several generic versions of Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in people 6 years and older. Vyvanse is available in capsu

Last month, I paid around $200 for my Vyvanse, but this time when I picked up my meds, the copay was only $10. I don’t know if there was a mixup, if the company just drastically reduced their prices since the FDA approved generic versions, or something else, but I’m super happy. Edit: - I didn’t hi

I’m 28, and for almost as long as I can remember, I’ve been getting treated for PI ADHD. I have taken between 40-60 MG of Vyvanse/Lisdexamfetamine as a prescription to treat it since elementary school, but with this national shortage still going on, I’ve been struggling to get refills on time. I kn

Final approval and availability of generic versions of the medication in the U.S. is anticipated after this date" https://web.archive.org/web/202208

Purely anecdotal, but some possibly good news in this shitshow of a medication shortage. When I went in to pick up my Vyvanse, and they were out, the pharmacist told me, "I ordered generic Vyvanse to arrive tomorrow, but also wouldn't be surprised if it didn't make it with this delivery. Call in the

As many of you are aware by now, the current U.S. shortage of medications used to treat ADHD has patients and parents of patients who rely on these medications scrambling to fill their prescriptions, leaving some people in a position where they are starting a new medicine or going without. Discussio

I just moved to Illinois from Ohio and switched Medicaid services. For the past 2 years Ohio Medicaid has covered my 40 mg Vyvance prescription in full with essentially no issues. Today I went to fill my new prescription and was told that Illinois Medicaid won’t cover this because “I’m too old to t
