Hey Linz, my psych had switched me to Vyvanse when it first came out, and at my next appointment I asked to be switched back to Adderral XR. The vyvanse did not work much at all for me, if anything it made me worse. So now I'm back on Adderral, and doing alright, or as alright as I can be doing (unfortunately meds don't make everything ok). I heard through the grapevine that sometime in the future Adderral's patent or FDA regulation (or something like that) is expiring, which was the reason for the Vyvanse coming out. So... I don't know. I would talk to your doc, you definitely are not the only person who has experienced dissatisfaction with Vyvanse. Good luck!
