Question: Headaches, ocular migraines, mild OA. Generally good health for my age; I swim or engage in aerobic activities for at least 30 minutes 4 or more times a week. Psychosocial stressors: I recently lost both my elderly parents and have had some concerns about replacing my substantial salary after 24 years in federal program consulting. Happily married with one child about to enter grad school.


of vyvance in the morning is sufficient. Can I get an online prescription for Vyvance 50 mg. and save some $$$. I lost my healthcare insurance a year ago.

XXXXXXX XXXXX, Ph.D.

Thank you doctor, for your forthright response. A non-urgent question for you:

I am spending about 900$ per month on my families prescription and visits to GPs. I have been unable to find suitable work as a doctorally trained psychotherapist/developmental psychologist (South XXXXXXX go figure!) well, 2 years ago, we moved here from XXXXXXX where my wife and daughter (a minor at the time) were covered by the CareFirst PPO (great plan as far as I was concerned). When I moved to Charleston and subsequently lost my (telecommuting) job in McLean, I was told by a private insurance broker that I was "uninsurable" because I had a titanium stent placed in my L carotid artery in 2007. The 99% occlusion was specific to that site, and the physicians concluded it was due to a traumatic or congenital dissection/defect of the artery, not arteriosclerotic pathology (due to its unique morphology), nonetheless I am barred from getting a health care plan WHATSOEVER. Do you think I will (eventually) get relief under the Healthcare for Americans Act? Any suggestions? (I used to ask my father, a retired gastroenterologist, these questions, but he died last month from ALS, and I don't have a lot of medical support at this time.) XXXXX
