Can Vyvanse Be Purchased Online?

Hello I had a prescription for Vyvanse after being diagnosed with marked degree of ADHD approximately 2 years ago. When there was a lapse in my insurance I had to stop taking it for several months because it is an expensive drug. By the time my insurance was reinstated my doctor had moved to a different clinic and was not accepting new patients (although I had been a patient of his previously, I was still considered a new patient). I have attempted to have my prescription reinstated several times over the last few months and for one bizarre reason or another have been unable to do so. One doctor had a freak accident and was not in the office for 6 months; I was not informed until I arrived at my appointment. Another office neglected to tell me that their nurse practitioner did not write prescriptions for psych meds and I did not learn this until I got to my appointment; the situation has negatively impacted almost every aspect of my life l: professional, personal relationship-wise; emotional and physical as well, as it was also effective in treatment of my binge eating disorder. ls there a way to have a prescription issued online? I m at my wit s end.

Hi,

They are generally prescribed only to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. If you're not prescribed it, it is illegal to possess. Vyvanse is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance in the United States, the same scheduling category as cocaine.

The Department of Justice says: “It is illegal to use prescription drugs without a valid prescription or to distribute them”.

You can’t get an online prescription itl, at least not in the United States.

It is a schedule 2 controlled substance, which means that you must have an actual hard copy of the prescription in order to get it filled.

It also means you cannot have refills on the bottle and the doctor cannot call or fax it into the pharmacy. Also, you will usually have to show photo ID when you pick it up at the store.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
