A member asked:
Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) and adderall no longer very effective, even with dose increases. it worked great a year ago. so, what now?

It depends: What are you measuring in your definition of effective? If you would name each symptom still present, it would be easier to direct you to other alternatives. You should consult your dr, make a list of symptoms that you would like to see disappear, and he will help you.
