Used to take Vyvanse, and prefer it, but changed insurance and Vyvanse is simply out of control from a pricing standpoint.

What insurance company? You can usually get your doc to tell the insurance company you've tried the other meds and Vyvanse is the most therapeutic.


EDIT - and to OP, ADHD medication changed my life and allowed me to excel in my career. It's not without its downsides, though, especially if you take it every day. When I first started, I got kind of carried away with how productive it made me, and I became way less social.

If you let the medicine guide your behavior, you can easily spend all day looking at porn or reading reddit and get the same satisfaction (dopamine) as though you'd accomplished a real task. It can also frick with your short-term memory, so making lists and staying organized is important -- and the medicine does not necessarily make you develop those habits if you didn't already have them.

I’m in the same exact boat. Went from $20/month to $170/month with my new insurance, including the coupon. Had the authorization and everything

Even the pharmacist was like WTF.
