In reply to What do you take for ADD?, posted by Laney on May 23, 2012, at 9:30:33
try Vyvanse. I've tried every stimulant out there, and it just made me feel up or down, and I felt always at the whim of my dose. Vyvanse is consistent-- there's controlled trials of it showing it outperforms other meds in the long-run with its effectiveness.
You don't want to feel like you're on a roller coaster. If your insurance doesn't cover it, contact Shire's Patient Assistance Program, Shire Cares. If you meet certain income requirements, and your insurance denied coverage, Shire will pay for your Vyvanse. Call them to apply.
Call your insurance first-- it often requires a prior authorization from your doctor. I'm on 70mg. It's very subtle.
> I think I may have ADD. My attention is really bad, especially when it comes to my math classes. I hate it and I'm going to bring it up to my doctor. I have a lot of math I'm going to be having to take for the next 2 years so what are you all taking for this?
