my insurance stopped covering name brand vyvanse
And guess what is on back order at every nearby pharmacy? I'll give you a hint: it's not the $300 per month name brand.
So I guess I switch to Adderall xr tomorrow?

Has there been a supply shortage on generic Vyvanse? I've had my generic Vyvanse filled the last few months without issue.
Yes it's crazy
Odd. Is this a recent thing? Like I said, I haven't had any issues getting mine filled.
Count your lucky stars!
There seems to always be shortages on Adderall or Vyvanse. The government limits how much can be produced, so the supply is not based on demand. If the major insurers stop paying for the name brand, then demand for the generic will go up even more.
Well that's dumb. They should allow the production to be a total supply number, rather than by the manufacturer, so generics can pump out as much as they want to the overall limit and undercut the brand name supplier, forcing their hand in lowering the price.
You've described capitalism and not the corporate socialism our pharmaceutical overlords get to enjoy. In many cases, the same company produces both the name brand and generic versions of a drug.
Does this apply to Ritalin too?
Not sure, I've only ever been on Adderall and Vyvanse. And I don't like Adderall. I was diagnosed late in life and just started this journey about 1.5 years ago.
