This a great news. I cant afford vyvanse with no insurance. Maybe i can finally get back on medication. I wonder how long it takes to get on the market now that it's been approved.
I have insurance and Vyvanse was still going to be ~$200+ a month
When I was on my parents insurance, the first 1-2 fills of the year were $11/pill and ~$1.20/pill after that (20mg). Now that I'm on my own insurance, it's $2.50/pill year round.
That means if I take it every day, it's ~$900/year
For daily, it’s $400 USD/month for me for with my insurance at the moment. Not trying to minimize your position, but offering another anecdote how wildly screwed pricing/insurance is. I just hope my insurance accepts the generic 🤞
I was just in the same boat! $400 a month was a real kick in the head. I recently got a new job and the price is down to $25. I happy they have generics now!
