Vyvanse

I called 911 on myself, thank you ATX EMS Last night at 11:11pm I made a 911 call for myself. I was having a panic attack that had me sprawled out on my floor, barely able to breathe, while my dog hid in the corner bc she was scared. i’ve struggled with my mental health my entire life and i’ve been mainly feeling better, but I’ve been struggling with my sleep over the last 2wks and an influx of other issues that i can’t get into rn. anyway, i’ve never had a panic attack so intense b4 and tbh i didn’t know what else to do, i was so scared for myself, so I called 911. I’m a young black woman that lives alone and tbh I wasn’t just scared for myself, I was more scared that they would take me away. who would take care of my dog? but in that moment, the risk was worth it. the 911 dispatcher was so kind and walked me through getting my breath under control, so i could give them my address. the 2 paramedics that arrived at my door were truly God sent. like i truly believe they were angels. they checked my vitals, talked to me, asked me a lottt of questions, and one of them sat on the floor while I’m on the couch sobbing. the other is standing on his laptop gathering all my information. they were both so kind, didn’t judge me, made me feel safe. they did an EKG on me and some other stuff and we came up with a game plan - sleep hygiene and getting back on my vyvanse (stopped taking it abruptly and didn’t know it could cause “crash” like symptoms, depression, fatigue, mood swings, ect.) I still have plenty, literally just stopped taking it for no real reason. they were like “we’re gonna hang out here for a little while until you calm down” and that’s exactly what they did. they monitored my breathing, BP, and heart rate while we talked about a variety of different things mainly related to my mental health and also my life, they also made me laugh a few times. they actually cared about me. like duh, they’re literally health care professionals but i just didn’t know what to expect. about 30-40 mins into the visit, my sister called and they spoke to her and told her what was going on. they said they were gonna stay until she arrived and that’s what they did. she arrived and they gave her the run down. they gave me a hug before they left and guys, never thought i’d say this, but I’m glad I called 911 on myself. Thank you Brit and John. I made an appt with my therapist and psychiatrist. I will never abruptly stop taking a medication again, and will prioritize my sleep. No more staying up until 4am spiraling about the last 28 yrs of my life. everything will be okay. everything will be more than okay. I’m blessed. P.s it’s kind of symbolic that I made that call at 11:11 if yall believe in angel numbers, 1111 is a sign of new beginnings, opportunities, spiritual awakenings. idk, but i’ll take it 🤍

Vyvanse Does anyone know where I can get a script filled for vyvanse? My teen was just prescribed but H-E-B doesn’t have it. I reaaaally don’t want to be on the phone all day. UPDATE: I called my closest CVS on WW White & they had 40 in stock. My HEB did not have any, nor did the 5 closest HEBs. My kiddo has Superior Medicaid & they are not helpful.

Anybody have an easier time getting their stimulant these days or know which pharmacy has generic Vyvanse (30mg) in stock? It’s been months since anybody updated their situation on how they handled this shortage and wanted to ask again so I could have some kind of lead. Not even the local pharmacies have my medication in stock. I have BCBSTX. Any help would be appreciated!

Where can I get my ADHD managed in Austin (affordable) Hello everyone ! I get most of my mental health medications through ARC. However - my providers have never been able to write me a prescription for Vyvanse. I struggle heavily with ADHD and it’s really starting to affect my working life and my family life. I’ve done a lot of research and think Vyvanse would be better for me over Adderall but I do genuinely think medication is the way to go for me. I am just having trouble finding a provider in my area that isn’t insanely expensive. I currently don’t have insurance and am working part time - so I’m not making a lot at the moment. Is anyone aware of any facilities that either offer a sliding scale fee or low income that will also prescribe Vyvanse ? Thank you !

Alternative to A.R.C. for ADD healthcare? I've been with Austin Regional Clinic for a hot minute but it feels like their care has diminished over the last few years post-covid. On top of that, my primary doctor is leaving. I asked if there was another doctor that was comfortable perscriping controlled ADD meds. They said yes but there are only two doctors that would prescribe my controlled meds and I wouldn't be able to get an appointment for three months. That feels pretty ridiculous, no? I think I rather find a smaller practice that can focus on my needs. I take Adderall regularly for my ADD but I'm not set on Adderall. I'm open to trying other meds if it helps me focus (Vyvanse, or other stimulants). I just need a doctor who well help me find the right medications to help me focus at work. Are there any doctors in the area you've had a good experience with when it comes to ADD healthcare? Looking for recommendations! Thanks in advance!

Cheapest place to get 30mg Vyvanse? Paying $150 for 30 days (insurance) at HEB. As the title says, I am looking to get a cheaper price on my 30mg prescription. I have heard of good RX but its not much of a discount when CVS and other pharmacies don't carry the drug.. unless I need to look for different CVS's? I am located in Live Oak right now. I do not mind a drive.

Every time a Gen Z kid tells me about their meds, it feels like that Key & Peele East/West Bowl sketch: Mounjaro Finasteride, Texas A&M Vyvanse Zepbound, LSU Xanax Wegovy, UCLA Generic Prozac, East Carolina University L’Wellbutrin Abilify, University of Miami Dan Smith, BYU

Moving Back to Austin and Need Affordable ADHD Prescriber Options Without Insurance Hi Everyone! I am from Austin and moving back after 5 years of grad school out of state, yay!! I'm a little stressed because there is a chance my psychiatrist may not be able to prescribe enough of my ADHD meds (vyvanse) to get me through the move and in the process of finding a new provider, about 60 days. I am NOT very functional without them. Does anyone have recommendations for affordable psychiatrists, clinics, telehealth providers, or offices in Austin that prescribe ADHD meds at a lower cost? I most likely will not have insurance since I am still looking for a job. Anything helps! Thank you.

@MTSlive “If you want to abuse substance in SF you abuse adderal or vyvanse” 😂😂😂 I live in San Diego now but I’m from Texas. We abuse Ribeyes and the sweetest Sweet Tea 🫡

Cypress area psychiatrist (or other doctor) who treats ADHD in those who need to use cannabinoids? Hi! I recently moved to Cypress. For context, I am diagnosed with inattentive type ADHD, autism, PTSD, GAD, dysthymia, and fibromyalgia and have been since I was still a minor (yeah, even the fibro!) I use low doses of cannabinoids to treat certain symptoms (50/50 mix of CBD and THCA, occasional delta-8 edible at night for sleep, will definitely cause me to fail a drug test). The symptoms it helps with include pain, muscle twitching/spasming, insomnia, nightmares, and being unable to sustain a singular train of thought, among others, and it does not worsen any symptoms (including my fatigue and brain fog- sometimes it even helps, but it's too inconsistent and mild to really improve my functioning in that aspect, or I'd just use it, lol). Cannabis has genuinely saved my life. But because of this, I've nearly given up on ever getting the medication I need for my remaining untreated symptoms, and this is my last shot. I've tried every non-stimulant, I'm on the max dose of wellbutrin, and I'm still struggling so much with fatigue every single day. I'm also on prozac, which helps a lot with my MOOD symptoms, but not the aspect of depression that makes you feel drained and incapable of doing anything. The only thing that's ever even touched the fog and fatigue is vyvanse. I was prescribed it in high school after trying every non-stimulant ADHD medication in existence. I was using straight up illegal cannabis at the time (which was a mixed bag when it came to my health, my current regimen is much better but was not available then). I was never drug tested, possibly because I was only 17. The starter dose of vyvanse I was put on is the best I've functioned in my entire life. The dosage increase was too much, though, and started to cause side effects, so I stopped taking it entirely- so stupid of me, but I was scared. Now, it's the only thing I can think of that could touch this nasty cloud of fatigue. If anything else helped I'd be using that instead, trust me. No, caffeine does absolutely nothing (to my despair), and I've tried yoga, physical therapy, and a variety of supplements. If anyone around Cypress knows of any doctors that are understanding and compassionate when it comes to responsible cannabinoid use, and treat ADHD with medication without drug testing (or simply don't care about cannabis showing up in one and won't discontinue treatment), I'm begging anyone to point me in their direction. Teledoc is fine too, but obviously that's very limited because only a few sites prescribe controlled substances. I'm on medicare (disabled since I was a child), so the doctor/clinic must accept medicare. Thank you, and sorry for my rambling and shitty formatting, I'm on mobile and I also... just talk like this. I know it's annoying, so anyone who even read all of this, thank you. Also, please don't suggest that I just lie to doctors- lying, especially so directly, is so uncomfortable for me on a cognitive level that I can't ever do it effectively because it would be incredibly obvious I was lying. My cannabinoid use is in my medical records due to this, anyway, because I've always been truthful about it, so it's too late to try now 😮‍💨
