    This a great news. I cant afford vyvanse with no insurance. Maybe i can finally get back on medication. I wonder how long it takes to get on the market now that it’s been approved.

      I have insurance and Vyvanse was still going to be ~$200+ a month

        When I was on my parents insurance, the first 1-2 fills of the year were $11/pill and ~$1.20/pill after that (20mg). Now that I’m on my own insurance, it’s $2.50/pill year round.

        That means if I take it every day, it’s ~$900/year

          For daily, it’s $400 USD/month for me for with my insurance at the moment. Not trying to minimize your position, but offering another anecdote how wildly screwed pricing/insurance is. I just hope my insurance accepts the generic 🤞

            I was just in the same boat! $400 a month was a real kick in the head. I recently got a new job and the price is down to $25. I happy they have generics now!

          $900 a year to become a functional human seems like a killer deal ngl

          I spend more than 900 a year on way more stupid shit

            Having to spend almost a 1000 dollars just to be functional isn’t great, it sucks. Bringing you up to baseline should be free/virtually free imo

              And your ideology doesn’t even matter, even if you’re a hardcore capitalist it’s more beneficial to the economy to freely give the support needed to enable people to become productive.

        My insurance doesn’t cover it at all unless I hit my deductible. Which is $3k. Making it cost just about $400/month

      It’s already available. Picked up my daughter’s prescription today. Going to have my doctor switch my prescription to generic next week.
