How to find doctors who will prescribe Ritalin and Vyvanse simultaneously

[Jimbob232]

My name is Bob, and I have had ADHD as long as I have lived. I have taken Ritalin for most of my life, but my doctor recently switched my to Vyvanse. Because I had some Ritalin left, I tried it at the same time as the Vyvanse. It worked perfectly. The problem is that the DEA are quite strict, and they don't think that is cool, apparently. Some doctors, however, are fine with writing prescriptions for two ADHD drugs; I just have to find out who they are.

    Ritalin hits sooner and harder - which may be the difference you feel.  I would first ask your doctor about increasing the V dose.  V is a smoother drug that can take up to 45 mins to start working and you may just not be used to its gradual onset.  However, it should last 10+  hours.  If it does not - thats a pretty good sign you are underdosed.
