vyvance vs adderall Meds

[SewLuLu 0]

I had my surgery in 2007 and have had ups and downs like most of us. I have fought ADD for most of my life not wanting to be medicated. I finally conceded and have been on adderall for about 3 years. It has been a god-send to me. Now, I don't feel like it works as well anymore and I'd like to try vyvance. Has anyone with a lapband used it? What are your experiences? Would you recommend one over the other? And could you suggest a dosage?

Hi. Vyvance is a good choice as it has effect for both ADHD and can help with binge eating. One issue might be cost, as there is no generic available. The specific dose would be worked out with your provider. If you decide to try it, go to Vyvance.com to get starter and discount coupons. Another option might be phentermine, if you have a doc who is familiar with using it. Less expensive, less addictive, good appetite control and many people with ADHD also enjoy improvement in their symptoms. Let me know if you have more questions as you go along. All the Best. Dr. Gail
