My husband experiences this. He always uses up his monthly supply in 8-14 days. He keeps saying he's going to take as prescribed but the next month is always the same. He has done it and wound up with delusions from lack of sleep. Talk to your doctor. Maybe he can come up with a better solution.

Omg yes. I just wrote in another thread about this. I'm prescribed vyvanse for binge eating (I'm bulimic) but I'm also underweight so why my pdoc gives this to me is beyond me. A month script lasts me a wk and then I'm on Te hunt for adderall. It sucks because I build a tolerance within a day and have to take a lot more to get that buzz. But when I'm coming down and the sun is coming up, I feel so guilty. I've always liked uppers.

We are all apparently living in the same infinite loophole from hell. You took the words right out of my mouth. My script lasts 9-12 days it's completely insane. I don't even notice the volume of pills decreasing in the bottle because I guess it doesn't start to concern me until I can see the bottom. It's the best feeling getting the new months bottle but it's also the worst. Up for two to three days straight every month it's debilitating. "Ok only take two today only take two today they'll last you longer than last month" I say the words and hope they ring true and every single time I let myself down.

Yes, not personally prescribed Adderal, but I have access at certain times of the month. It's very difficult cuz once you get going ya gotta keep using to avoide the crash. Theres never a good time to crash, or so we tell ourselves...
Personally Id have no control either. Some of us aren't capable. Thats addiction. Id ask myself if I truly needed the prescription and if theres alternative treatment.

I use to abuse pharmaceutical amphets & methylphenidate. I use to finish boxes of 100 in less than 3 days. As a pharmacy technician, it is one of the fewer things I hate dispensing to younger clients. It is too addictive. The quicker you get off them and actually stop getting them prescribed to you, the better it is. Save your money, the crash, the tolerance, the increased chance of stroke and cardiac arrest and the more you rely on it the more you need it to do anything really..

I used to be prescribed vyvanse, but in my self-medicating, vyvanse doesn't even touch me...but I go through the regret on a daily basis... "The getting and using and finding ways and means to get more" augh, haven't been to a meeting in YEARS, still remember that line.....
