LISDEXAMFETAMINE vs LISDEXAMFETAMINE DIMESYLATE

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

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

My heart sank today at the pharmacy when I saw someone decline to pick up all of their prescriptions because they were out of this person's budget. For their privacy, I didn't approach them to tell them about [Fair Pharmacare](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/health/health-drug-coverage/pharmacare

It is currently a sweltering 24C (75F) and I am not coping well. I am extremely pasty white British lady and anything over 19C (66F) is hellish for me. Whilst I have always been somewhat averse to the heat, but since combining lisdexamfetamine and venlafaxine I am not coping well. Mentally, the bes

Had a pt today saying a previous pharmacist told him to tell prescriber to put brand necessary in notes in case we don’t have generic so he can go to brand. (That’s what a DAW-2 is for). Historically, prescribers have been putting that in and he’s been getting the generic. But like, still not the gr
