> Thanks so much for your response, I take IR 20 mg in morning, and IR 20 mg in afternoon. I wish to stay in Dexedrine class of drugs. Vyvanse yuck.

I always suspected my 30mg of Dexedrine Spansules was half as effective as my 30mg of Dexedrine IR tabs!!!!!
Why didn't anyone tell this to me? I hate this. Having a resident for a doc (the medical equivalent of having a public defender) doesn't help. Careful on the vyvanse-- it's more potent than the adderall xr to vyvanse conversion table lets on; start low with vyvanse.
Of course, my resident won't file a prior authorization for me to get vyvanse, saying "other drugs have to fail for me to do a prior authorization." I explained to her i need the prior authorization denied in order for my medicare rx plan to send me a letter saying they won't cover it in order for Shire to cover my Vyvanse for free-- something Shire is perfectly happy to do for me, and my insurance is perfectly happy to issue a denial letter-- but that requires her to do the prior authorization to trigger it. Which she won't do. The medical equivalent of the public defender not feeling like filing a motion to get you into a posher prison...
I'm working on getting another doc, but having schizophreniform is like having kooties-- no psych wants to touch you. I found one who wants $500 for the frst appointment alone, to give a sense of how upstanding the profession is at exploiting my desperation. I'm on medicare, and the docs who take medicare are typically residents and that's it...
Any online or journal source for the dex spansules conversion I could show my doc?
