my son is on vyvanse. its been good to us, but its a fortune, thinking of switching to adderol. in september, any thoughts. anyone on that,, how is it.

If he's done well on Vyvanse, he should do fine on Adderall. They're very, very similar. Same group of medication -- same main ingredient.

Did you go on line and look for a cupon for vyvanse I found one and now i am paying 30 bucks a month. I am also new to vyvanse we were switched from focline to vyvanse because of mood issues. I am not sure of what to do he dose not seem any happier and he was on such a good run for awhile there. We added intunive no longer seems to be working any suggestions.

I have a link for you that will tell you about the coupons and give information on assitance programs thru Shire Cares. Click on the numbers 3 and 4 to get to the links. http://www.pharmacydrugguide.com/Vyvanse_Coupons
I looked for information on the Adderall XR on that site for you also. Coupons for that it said are rare and you maybe able to get samples form your doctor. With the expense of drugs we need to check out all our options and get help when we can. Here is the one for the Adderall too. Hope the info helps someone. http://www.pharmacydrugguide.com/Adderall_XR_Coupons

wow.. thank you all so much for all the info. it is very expensive. a huge factor. maybe ill ask about the samples, and definitly will try the assistance.. its a great idea, and i never would have thought of it. i take him off it for the summer,, maybe in september.

Let us know how things work out and if you come across any other information.

lowen22 07/13/2013

i will, as of right now, i am waiting until september, i may try costco to see if it lowers the price. i am so happy with vyvanse beccause he has virtually no side effects.. it really is amazing, he is very small and he still eats me out of house and home, i am afraid to tempt the gods so to say. but i will keep you all posted, and thank you for your input an help

I have read in the past that cosco drug pricing is pretty good. Let us know what you find out. I am glad he is doing so well.

Hi Lowen22,
I was wondering did you make the switch to Adderall and if so how is it going?

lowen22 10/04/2013

my doctor reccomended he not go on adderal due to crashes, so i stayed, im going to try the coupon someone online gave me a link too. not sure if it will work, costco only saved me like 5-7$ it wasnt worth the hearache, gas, line, etc. to get there.
