My pharmacy switched me to the generic and my insurance company required another pre-auth for it. 3 years of taking Vyvanse and suddenly they're like "No, we don't wanna pay for the cheaper stuff". Morons.

I think the pre-auth is a normal thing every 3 years. I get inconvenienced by that on the same schedule and have been told that the insurance company requires the pre-auth from time to time.

Yeah I’m waiting for the generic to become available to see if my insurance will cover it. But my dr already set me up in that they requested the generic for the last year even though it wasn’t available and it was instead filled with the brand name. So when it comes to availability it shouldn’t be anything other than filling with the generic.
