I was thrilled to see Vyvance finally go generic, but now it's on a major delay. Ugh. Has anyone else been hit with this? Luckily for the rest of the year IBX (my insurance) will cover name-brand Vyvance and pay for it. Next year's gonna be fun! (Sarcasm)

My insurance will only cover the generic. There is only one pharmacy in a 40 minute radius that carries the genetic, and only sometimes. Fun.

I've been having pretty good luck the past couple months (knock on wood). I think it has depended on what dose you were on. IIRC there is the 'regular' shortage of raw ingredients that affects everything, but there was also a shortage on top of that for specifically 60 & 70 mg pills. Though it looks like the manufacturers are just reporting the former now: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/drugshortages/dsp_ActiveIngredientDetails.cfm?AI=Lisdexamfetamine%20Dimesylate%20Capsule&st=c

I met my out of pocket for the year. So I had the pharmacy fill it with brand. I'll do that again this month and then I'll figure shizzz out!

Nice, hopefully the manufacturing will get all sorted out by a fresh year. 🤞

Just got the generic filled without issue in Ohio. Maybe just regional to you?

Might be. I'm just north of Philly. Who knows!
