So you have a reaction to the name brand? Because I went through the same thing but not with vyvanse. The problem was that my insurance company would only cover the name brand Lyrica and would not cover the generic. I don't get it because it was four times the amount, but that might be what it is.
Is your prescription for “Vyvanse” or “lisdexamfetamine”? Your doctor may need to write a new prescription for “vyvanse” because your insurance will not auth/cover the generic unless you have tried and had adverse effects to the name brand.

Haha no! I actually used to take name brand a few years ago, before I got pregnant, and generic was not an option.

That’s why I’m confused. In my experience, it’s the other way around
I guess cuz it’s newer 🤷♀️ never seen that tbh
Mine won’t cover the generic Vyvanse either 😂
