Hi,

Vyvanse is approved for use in ADHD. It is a stimulant drug of the amphetamine group and has a potential for abuse. That is why, you are finding it difficult to get the prescription renewed. Please discuss with your new doctor and ask him to prescribe some other medicine for ADHD if he is unwilling to continue Vyvanse, so that your health does not worsen.

Best wishes.
