And guess what is on back order at every nearby pharmacy? I’ll give you a hint: it’s not the $300 per month name brand.

So I guess I switch to Adderall xr tomorrow?

    As a counter-anecdote, I’ve had 30mg generics from Sun and Mylan, and both have been the same or better than the name brand Vyvanse.

    Not discounting your experience, I’m sure there are differences in the formulation that probably affect some people and not others.

      Oh man i am really glad to hear that. It’s possible we just got a bad batch in Ohio that time, but it was two months in a row so who knows.

        Also, different medications interact with people differently. It’s also possible that the way your body interacts with the same medication can change over time, which is why some people have to change medications or dosage amounts. All of this has happened to my daughter. Name brand Adderall makes her ill. We’ve found a couple of generic manufacturers that work well for her, for now. The fact that we have to scrabble to find them is another level of frustration.
