Hi, I’ve Run Out Of My Vyvanse Early So Doctor
Question: Hi, I’ve run out of my vyvanse early so doctor prescribed me emergency dose until I can see my psychiatrist. I have another script for later in the month. I’m only getting 15 for emergency dose. I’m worried this will be flagged. I’m not abusing it. Should I cancel the emergency dose and go without for two weeks? My next script dated Sep 2 but might be changed to an earlier date as it is sent first via the VYSA scheme. My shrink is also requesting increase from drug authority as the amount I’m on isn’t enough.
Brief Answer:
You need to communicate to your doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
From the available description it appears that you need higher dose of Vyvanse so it is better to communicate to your doctor without delay. I understand that you are not able to see your psychiatrist in timely manner but this will not prevent the system flagging your medication use pattern. In case this is done you can expect lot of difficulties in future to procure your medication which might be genuinely needed.
Definately going without medication for few weeks is one option but I feel having right communication with your psychiatrist should solve this problem more genuinely.
I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.

what if I only get one script filled and put the other one on hold? so that way its ok? my doctor i used was online and she only prescribed because i rsn out, so she knew that i needed more. my shrink also knows i need more as she has applied for a increase in my amount with authorities. what about if i just do not get the extra script or if i do get it, put the other one on hold?
is there a number i can call in australia to talk this through and get the best course of action?
my pschchatrist will not allow me to take more until she gets approval so scared to tell her. i definatley am not abusing, genuinely needed.
i can put my other script on hold instead and still get this filled?

Hello,
Thanks for follow up.
As I can see that your psychiatrist applied for increase in dose of Vyvanse with authorities but she insisted not to breach the limit, establishes the fact that abiding to limits is very important. Despite knowing your need for extra dose, denial to refill extra dose clearly establishes what it means.
In regard to holing the another script, I feel this will help you to maintain faith of your psychiatrist and should be done as far as possible.
In regard to helplines I am not aware of any such helplines and I feel it does not exist as per my best of knowledge. Since this is personal decision of treating doctor I feel there is need to wait till next consultation.
I hope this helps you further.
Thanks and regards.
