Brief Answer:
Other options are also available.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for asking from HCH for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. Buspar is an anti-anxiety drug and might result in stomach distress in some individuals. If we consider other antidepressants then Paroxetine which is a SSRI is better option. The drug helps in good sleep also and will not cause much stomach distress as compared to other drugs.

Even some TCA drugs especially Clomipramine can also be used. The drug will not cause much stomach upset. Bupropion is also another option. This drug will supplement the actions of Vyvanse also.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Please don't hesitate to ask again for more doubts.

Take care

No these are not for life. Once symptoms improve then medicines can be tapered easily. These are not for life.
