I've been told by my provider that due to the worldwide shortage I have to try something else.

Currently on elvanse (vyvanse in the US). Opted to try Amfexa which is still dexamphetamine but not the "slow release" that lisdexamphetamine is.

Nervous about the switch after finding something that works on my first try.

Has anyone made the same or similar switch?

Currently on Vyvanse, now generic, with generic Adderall as midday booster. Luckily I've been okay so far, but I'm susceptible. I've tried many different medications and this combination works the best without ruining my personality. I'm not sure what's going on with the shortages, but I really hope that shit gets under control. Both for my own security, and for everyone else affected or potentially affected by the shortages.
