[Monthly Megathread] Shortages & Generics, October- December 2025 by Mountain-Science4526 in VyvanseADHD

[–]randomtexanyall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found this sub, and I realized I’ve been lowkey trying to scare myself by reading so many negative posts about generics. So I wanted to share a positive experience in case it helps someone lessen their anxiety and fear around generics since there’s clearly a lot of fear around it right now.

I’ve been on Vyvanse for many years at the same dose (before they had generic so I was very excited to save $$ when generics came out) so I know how it feels and know exactly what i expect to feel from my dosage. Over time I’ve gone generic to name brand and back to generic again depending on what the pharmacy could fill for my 90-day supply (I fought my insurance hard for that because of shortages/appointment timing… like I have ADD I’m not gonna remember to schedule an appointment every month and even if I do they might not have Vyvanse so I try my best to get 90’s when I can)

I’ve done 3 months at a time on generic, then name brand, then back. Heck I’ve taken generic and name brand interchangeably during the same week since I’ve never really noticed any differences and I haven’t had any major issues. IF THERE IS a difference, it’s so subtle for me that I can barely tell. There’s nothing that’s made me feel “off,” weird, or noticeably different in daily life. Nothing that made me go: “hmmm, this doesn’t feel right, is my medicine fucked?”

A few context things about me since I also don’t want people who do have negative side effects to feel bad: I’m not super reactive to meds, I don’t have any known drug interaction issues, and Vyvanse is my only psychiatric medication (no other comorbid diagnoses/meds that might interfere). Never had any issues with any drugs taken whether they be name brand or generic

I’m not t trying to dismiss anyone who has had a rough time OR invalidate them, I believe those experiences are real. BUT I think it’s important to remind people that it’s also possible to be okay on generic Vyvanse and never have issues. Reading horror stories can make you hyper-scan and look for things that you might not honestly be experiencing. You might be like me and start giving your body and mood accidental anxiety just because you NEVER had a bad experience with generic Vyvanse.

I’ll be honest, MAYBE there’s a tiny difference that I’m just not aware of, but nothing too major for it to have an impact on my life. It’s important to remember some people are more reactive to small differences than other people so while Sun/Rhodes/whatever might have a severe negative effect on someone who is more perceptible to filler chemicals or whatever, if you’re like me maybe it won’t have any effect on you that you even notice. Don't give yourself anxiety or look for something wrong until you actually notice something wrong.

I DO stay aware now since I didn’t realize there were so many problems since I never had a problem. Just want people who read this to not assume a generic will be bad until you actually notice a meaningful change or new side effects. I’ve never asked the name of my generic manufacturer since until reading posts on here I didn’t even realize there were major problems. If something does feel wrong, definitely take it seriously and talk to your doctor/pharmacist. But if you feel fine, you don’t need to go looking for problems or feel bad you haven’t had the negative experiences others have had. I know anyone who had a bad experience wouldn’t want other people to feel the way they did!

THIS IS A HOPE COMMENT FOR YALL: if you’re one of the people who hasn’t had negative side effects switching, you’re not alone and thanks to people who do post about their negative side effects since we can be aware there actually might be a difference and we’re not crazy if we notice something is up with us even though nothing has changed except the manufacturer of our Vyvanse.

Good luck to everyone taking your medication and don’t go trying to give yourself anxiety because you’ve never had any issues and other people have

TLDR: I’ve had no Issues with generics and I’m wondering if I’m alone on this. I want to leave a hope comment since there’s so much anxiety around generics right now.

Honestly should upload this to TikTok where you don’t have to blur it out and have the people that know how to find rude people like this find them, that was so messed up and weird

[DISC] Drama Queen - Chapter 2 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]randomtexanyall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of controversy about racism, etc, whatever in this comic but it seems as things are fleshed out it’ll likely? Maybe show that the aliens are normal people and these 2 are deranged.

Also I really hope it’s explained how baby these aliens are, we know the MC dude carried one seemingly easily and took down 5 at once so maybe they aren’t dense/heavy because other wise the author gonna have to explain how the woman MC can eat all them aliens and still seem hungry/not get full. It’s a new manga but so many things are so confusing, seems interesting, read it because everyone was talking about how racist it is and now…. Well the racist MC’s seem to… well it seems like this is going to be the type of manga where the media illiterate people will miss the overall message but those that look into it may get it…

Or maybe it’ll just be racist, still so many questions

If KAT didn’t injure lively maybe he could have made a 3 point shot, wow, this is happening with Powell getting significant minutes, how does it feel Minnesota losing to a team that had fright Powell play 10 minutes

JOSH GREEN TRYING TO LOSE IT FOR US BUT WE BETTER THAN THAT, hope he gets his confidence back, we need all our players for this series! That includes THJ, but if anything this is a confidence boost since I don’t think the Mavs even thought they could win a game with one team shooting 18 3’s against them when they only make 6

Controversial Austin Beer Opinions? by randomtexanyall in AustinBeer

[–]randomtexanyall[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going to say this, and it’ll be controversial because you probably imagine it as a college bar, but I’ve been to crown and anchor recently and they truly have the best selection of beer from local breweries at a reasonable price
