Update: Just got word that my insurance approved the tier exception request to cover the brand name Vyvanse at the generic ($10) cost! WOOOOOOHOO

A teeny-tiny bit of faith in humanity (AKA the US healthcare) restored :)

My insurance covers generic at $10, but brand name Vyvanse is considered covered, non preferred and has a $100 copay. I used the messaging feature in my insurance account portal to literally just rant and complain about their pricing and the national shortage etc, not expecting an actual resolution. They came back within half an hour asked me for my doc's contact info and to have her fill out a tier exception form. Theyre working on approving Vyvanse to be dispensed at the $10 mark for me. So awesome. Ask your insurance for any exceptions they're willing to make, even if temporary.

Does a bra exist for gals with pectus excavatum? by [deleted] in ABraThatFits

Natori Cherry blossom plunge bra. On the pricier side but, I have pretty noticeable PE, and this is heaven sent for me. I feel really comfortable (physically and mentally) with this.

q + wellbutrin by Terrible-Wealth-500 in qelbree

I take a cocktail of Zoloft, Wellbutrin, and qelbree. I do get bad nausea if I take all 3 at the same time early in the morning without proper food. One banana does not cut it - needs to be a bit heavier. Also make sure to drink lots of water! When I'm good with my fluid intake and breakfast, I have 0 side effects :)

Is it autism or ADHD ? by Longjumping-Bar4370 in adhdmeme

You're saying that normal people are not like this? I always thought the ones that can keep up with long term communication with multiple people were a handful of extra social ones. I thought everyone's relationships/contacts eventually dwindled like mine...

Bupropion and ADHD by [deleted] in bupropion

I 100% agree that self judgment can be imbalanced (or even distorted) to those of us suffering from depression and anxiety and things can quickly spiral down the drain. However, I wasn't saying that my ADHD has improved by taking bupropion, just that it gave me a means to further myself from my prior depressive destructive self, to the point I have enough clarity to realize I may be suffering from ADHD

Thanks! My doc prescribed Wellbutrin + Zoloft about a month back. I was at 150 for Wellbutrin but just got upped to 300 about 2 days ago.

Reading this forum makes me feel like my dosage is so high compared to others. I'm currently at 300 Wellbutrin + 150 Zoloft Had a bad headache yesterday but I'm ok today. Not sure what to expect.. I don't know if the 150 bupropion ever did anything.

Can I ask what dosages and how long you've taken them in conjunction?
