Jerry -- Even though you're on Medicaid, I would still try to apply for the Vyvanse patient assistance program. The only thing they need for proof of income is a tax return and I made up a fake one, sent it in with my application and got a card that gives me 30/pills a month for a year. They didn't check the return I sent them against any IRS records or anything, and I doubt they'd figure it out if you lied about being on Medicaid.
And, btw, I was just taking it as an augment to my Wellbutrin, not for narcolepsy or ADD or any kind of sleep disorder. All you need is a dr's script for it to send in with your application. I'm pretty sure the application didn't even ask if I had ADD, just if I had tried Vyvanse before.
The Wellbutrin and Vyvanse was a pretty effective combo for me for a while, unfortunately, the effects of the Wellbutrin just pooped out on me so I'm now trying Parnate (day 4 -- no effects yet).
Speaking of which, it doesn't appear you've tried Parnate either -- it's supposed to be more stimulating than Nardil and I know I've read about some people who have received no benefit from one who get a great benefit from the other. Would you be willing to give Parnate a try? It's technically contraindicated with Vyvanse, but your dr may let you combine them anyway. Mine wants me to go with either Nuvigil or Provigil if I end up needing a stimulent w/the Parnate -- he was a speaker for Cephalon and believes they're safer with MAOI's than other stims are, so I may soon by applying for the Provigil patient assistance program...too soon on Parnate to tell if I'll need it or not.
Anyway -- good luck!
