Maybe that's an option for you? (like really same effect at same dosage, maybe a little less longer but like concerta was tottaly different in comparison) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] uuseernaamee@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'm an Elvanse (Vyvanse for Americans) user, unfortunately. I don't tolerate Methylphenidate well (they made me try like four different versions of it first before they'd give me the Elvanse) and as far as I know there is a shortage on just about all Dexamphetamine based medications. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Oh I wish I could try vyvanse :( permalink fedilink source parent [–] Jeanschyso@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I spent 2 hellish years without meds because I lost my family doctor.
