If the prescriber does not want the substitution, they can note that on the order. If you have been taking Vyvanse, it is okay to make an immediate and equal-dose conversion to the generics of Vyvanse. No tapering or dose adjustment is required. The next time you fill your prescription, ask the pharmacist about generic Vyvanse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There may be instances when your healthcare provider wants you to take brand-name Vyvanse. This could be because you have an allergy or sensitivity to one of the inactive ingredients in the generic form that\u2019s not in the brand-name formulation. It may also be due to the brand&#8217;s in-stock availability versus the generic at any given time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have been taking the generic and the pharmacist indicates they can only get brand-name Vyvanse currently, ask about an insurance override to match coverage on the brand name due to a shortage in the generic supply chain.
