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?

I have not been able to get Dexedrine for months now and was just getting used to and appreciating Vyvanse unit my new insurance company decided that I did not deserve medicine that works. Been on generic Adderall which did not work well 20 years ago and does not work well not either. I hate insurance.
