Hi minniemouse - Do you take Vyvanse for Adult ADHD? Since it is a stimulant of similar make-up, have you tried Dextroamphetamine? Or, Dextrostat? This is one of the meds that has been used for years for both ADHD, and to supplement actions of both depression meds. & bipolar meds. But, principally with ADHD. Also, can you see the Psychiatrist and ask for a med with similar characteristics? I'm also on disability, and Medicare pays for an ample supply of my Dextro, in 3 month batches. Good luck! J.

what about adderall or adderall xr? Made by the same company.
Yes, absolutely. You're so smart, Miss Vonnie! Any of the stimulant are worth taking a look at since that's what has seemed to work so well thus far. xo to you, hon. Jillian
My Vyvanse seemed to all of a sudden stop working so I asked to be switched to something similar and my psychiatrist then put me on adderall. It works great. No problems or side effects. Shame on Medicare for not paying for medications that people desperately need. Good luck to ya!
