This is awesome!

For those who are currently taking it and having issues paying for it, Vyvanse offers a coupon for your prescription for $30. https://www.vyvanse.com/coupon

Is this new? When I checked a few months ago, the coupon was more like $30 off, bringing down to like $350

Edit: no, this is the same crap “max savings of $60” on a $400 drug

Ah. Gotcha. I realize how lucky we were that it was only $80/month with insurance. We were the lucky ones who got it down to $30/month with the coupon. I do not remember what insurance we had, and this was years ago as well.

You actually want Takeda Help-At-Hand, their actual discount program. I get mine for $0 now.

Heads up from their website:

Please note that VYVANSE and MYDAYIS will no longer be available through Help at Hand after December 31, 2023. The completed application with all required supporting documentation must be received and approved by October 16, 2023 in order to continue to receive product from the Help at Hand Patient Assistance Program for the remainder of 2023. Please work with your health care provider to determine the appropriate next steps to best address your individual needs. Enrollees with questions should call 1-800-830-9159.

Thanks for adding that, I just got a letter in the mail today about it too. 😞
