    The article says it’s a national problem. It’s worse than that. Pharmacies in Australia have a huge shortage of Vyvanse right now because it’s imported from the US.

      Brand name Vyvanse hasn’t been especially hard for me to get for the last few years. (Here in the US)

      But apparently everything else has been a shit-show for the last 2 years. I imagine it will get worse as people are forced to consider alternative medicine choices. Our DEA isn’t known for smart choices ;-)

      Good luck, I’m afraid you’ll soon need it.
