does anyone know how to get a copay assistance or something like that for vyvanse. i dont qualify for any federal funding because the annual income is too high and my insurance is terrible. my monthly cost is almost 70$, any information would be great.

I am in Canada, but I got a card from my son's paediatrician to allow us to get concerta for the price of the generic drugs. Have you asked the doctor about this?

Sorry - I don't know either, like hotmom1 suggested - I'd ask the doctor or maybe the pharmacy?

I cut back my work hours but agreed to pay extra to keep my insurance - it's tough for sure but I'd be paying more either way(at work or for the drugs not covered).

HI I was just asking about if you tried the Adderall on another thread. You were thinking maybe September. Did it not work out?
Shire does offer some assistance for patients on Vayanse. They have coupons and vouchers to help with the cost and also a patient assistance program. I will give you the link for my go to information site on it. http://www.pharmacydrugguide.com/Vyvanse_Coupons See references 3 & 4 for additional information.
Have you found any other information for sources to go to for help?

havent really found much. ill try your link, i asked my dr. about adderal and she said that you had more crashes with that and she told me i should try concerta first. i decided to stay with the vyvanse. thanks for the web site, hope it works

Yes there are those crashes that come with taking Concerta.

Were you able to get the information you needed Iowen22? Can you take advantage of the vouchers they offer?

This is a handy link to keep around they list some common ADHD meds but you will see that they have pages listed for coupons, samples and patient assistance programs that might be available.
