My PNP tries to get me to take it every day whether I think I need it or not--I take Vyvanse. She told me studies have shown there is benefit to being regular about taking it. I am not good about taking it. I forget sometimes and other times I don't take it deliberately. When I do take it, I notice a big improvement. That annoys me, for some reason. So then I may not take it every day because I'm annoyed at doing better on it. I've just started back to school this week and it's a pretty intense quarter, so I am trying hard to take it every day. I took it every day this week. I also take Wellbutrin daily for ADHD and I am very consistent about taking this.

Since I don't take the Vyvanse every single day, I have saved up some extra pills. I would hate to be in the situation of really needing a med, running out, and not being able to get another prescription soon enough from my PNP. So it is good to have a backlog. My PNP writes me 2 prescriptions at a time (and postdates one of them), so I don't have to see her every month. I'm really busy and have a hard time finding time to see her, so if I use up both prescriptions, she will let me do a phone meds management session with her and then mail me a prescription. She charges me the same for this as in person. It is very convenient. I am very stable on Vyvanse and Wellbutrin and am needing no dosage adjustments or additional medications, so it is not hard for us to do a simple session over the phone. If I was having more trouble, she would make me come in person.

Hayward, I wrote about that, because I thought maybe you could do something like with your prescriber--have him/her write two prescriptions at a time for you, one for this month and one for next.
