So this happened a couple years ago. I was working grave shifts at the time. So I kept my ADHD pills on my night stand because it helped me not forget. This was never really an issue for the dogs as the dogs never came to my room as it was blocked off normally. My medication is DextroAmphetamine 20m
There have been some comments about [the death of Elisa Lam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Elisa_Lam) recently, so I thought I would write up the extensive research I have done on this case. This "mystery" is resolved – the official conclusion that she had a manic episode and accidentally d
It's my fifth year at what was supposed to be just 2 years of community college. I am on dextroamphetamine 25 mg and amphetamine salts 10 mg. I have been in therapy for over a decade. I took only 2 classes this semester. And yet I still failed. I know I'm not unintelligent. It's because I literally

Earlier this week, I wrote a post asking about whether certain symptoms I was experiencing were a side effect. Ironically, I had also just written a post a day before that in regard to missing my Dr"s appointment for the issues mentioned above. Luckily, I received an appointment the next day; unfor
This post isn’t to be negative, but to offer an alternative experience for those with ADHD. I’ve tried Adderall, Vyvanse, Concerta, Ritalin, Dextroamphetamine, Intuniv, Clonodine, and Stratterra. Each one of them eventually takes a massive toll on my body. Sleeping sucks, eating sucks, focus fee

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
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisdexamfetamine#History "The expiration date for patent protection of lisdexamfetamine in the U.S. is February 24, 2023. 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.

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
