Vyvanse is definitely better than Adderall, but it can be annoying to get insurance on board.
Also, is there an instant release Vyvanse? I thought it was just extended release.
As far as I understand it, Vyvanse is specifically designed not to be instant release. It is amphetamine attached to lysine that only becomes active after the lysine is cleaved from it in your gut.
Dexedrine
I can't do Vyvanse. Lasts too long. I take 2x 30mg instant release mixed amphetamine a day. Well, usually just one a day but I'm prescribed two.
Not everyone needs long lasting meds.
And if you also have depression and anxiety I’ve seen a few doctors use Wellbutrin.
That’s wild. I would be very concerned if my psychiatrist treated all phenylethylamines as interchangeable. I guess people have to make do with what is available though.
