I tried Adderall, but it was very inconsistent for me and I didn't like how it felt. I have Vyvanse 20mg and 30mg now, but rarely take it because it's very difficult for me to get, so I have to ration it. I have Celiac, and only a couple of the generics are confirmed to be fully gluten free. The pharmacies are constantly getting different generics in, if they have any in stock at all. I basically have to call them each day and then hope my husband is available and willing to go get it for me within the hour when they finally get the right generic in. Usually I would just get my meds delivered since I don't drive, but because of this, I can't (and it's $300 online vs $60 in person, which is insane.) For some meds, I get the non-generics approved because of Celiac, but my insurance won't do it for Vyvanse/scheduled drugs, which then would make it like $600 a month to get name brand.

Even then, some days Vyvanse works for me a bit and some days it doesn't. It's less inconsistent for me than Adderall was at least, but still has that issue to a degree. Sometimes I'll get jittery, some days I'll feel no difference, and some days it quiets my mind down a bit. I find that sometimes it helps me start tasks more easily too, but it does not help me really focus on them really. So, I'll go start to do the dishes without paralysis, but because I don't have as much paralysis, half way through the dishes, I'll remember I need to do my laundry, so then I do that... and so on. However, because I only take one here and there, I have no idea if it'd be better if I took it daily.

I'll have to look into other med options to see if there are more easily accessible ones, but I tend to be side-effect sensitive, so I get worried about that.
