Suggest Treatment For ADHD When Diagnosed With Breast Cancer

Posted on Wed, 25 Oct 2017

Question: I have documented ADHD, I am currently out of vyvanse. I am prescribed 30mg daily along with 10 mg lexapro. My current practice has changed my appts frequently. I was diagnosed with breast cancer this year and every time they reschedule it interferes with those appts. I reschedule with them to fix the problem and every time they call within a day ahead and change my appt again. I have finally ran out of my medications and need a refill. Can you help?

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

Vyvanse is a Schedule II Controlled Substances regulated by the FDA and Drug Enforcement Administration. Prescribing Vyvanse without personally examining the patient is not legal. The only way you will be able to obtain this prescription is by speaking in-person with a doctor who can evaluate you. I hope this information is helpful.
