>Since you can get a free script of vyvanse it might be worth trying?
I may try it eventually. My doctor hasn't really pushed it on me even though it looks like the rep visited him already. I'm also busy with life (work/family) at the moment don't really want to go through that "new med" period in case Vyvanse doesn't work the quite the same way.
BTW, I'd be a little more inclined to try Vyvanse if it had a easier scheduling than cII.
(However, less-than-cII might not always be a good thing; hence my handle for this forum. I have a loose belief that "if it's not a cII than it's not a good drug" ;-) Take Strattera for example, YUCK! I got suckered into trying that one just to avoid cII scowls at the pharmacy and monthly hand-written refills, but that garbage threw my life off track for well over a month. The SSRI I got suckered into trying at one time also had a quality-of-life-killing effect for over a month. I guess the only exception to my cII beliefs are benzos, although I can't understand why they don't have a higher scheduling, seeing as they are far more addictive than any amphetamine. Sorry for this little OT section, but this is a forum and I feel a need to get these things off my chest.)I guess it just doesn't seem worth it to switch meds right away when I haven't heard overly-wonderful reviews of the new Vyvanse alternative. Good point about the free script though, I should probably pick one up while the offer is still out there. Maybe I'll save it and test it out over the holidays.
