Vyvanse can cost up to $558/month without insurance. Here's how to save with coupons, discount cards, manufacturer programs, and patient assistance in 2026.
Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) is one of the most commonly prescribed medications for ADHD and binge eating disorder—and one of the most expensive. Without insurance, brand Vyvanse costs $400 to $558 per month. Even with insurance, copays can be significant. The good news: there are real ways to pay less. This guide walks you through every savings option available in 2026.
Here's what you can expect to pay out of pocket in 2026:
The price difference between pharmacies can be hundreds of dollars for the same medication. That's why comparing prices is one of the easiest ways to save.
Prescription discount cards are free to use and can dramatically reduce what you pay—especially for generic lisdexamfetamine:
GoodRx is one of the most widely used prescription discount platforms. With a GoodRx coupon, generic lisdexamfetamine can cost as low as $68/month—a savings of up to 85% off the retail price. Simply search for your medication on GoodRx, compare pharmacy prices in your area, and show the coupon at the pharmacy counter.
SingleCare works similarly to GoodRx and is accepted at most major pharmacies. Prices are competitive, and SingleCare is often integrated directly into pharmacy systems for easy processing.
Takeda, the manufacturer of brand Vyvanse, offers a copay savings card for eligible commercially insured patients. With the savings card, you may pay as little as $30 per month for brand Vyvanse. Eligibility requirements include:
Additional options to compare prices:
Important note: Discount cards cannot be combined with insurance. You use one or the other at the pharmacy—whichever gives you the lower price.
If you're uninsured or underinsured, these programs may provide Vyvanse at no cost or significantly reduced cost:
Takeda's patient assistance program provides free brand Vyvanse to qualifying patients. Eligibility typically requires:
Your doctor's office can help you apply, or you can contact Takeda directly.
If you're currently taking brand Vyvanse, ask your doctor and pharmacist about switching to generic lisdexamfetamine. It contains the same active ingredient and is FDA-rated as therapeutically equivalent. With a discount card, generic can cost as little as $68/month—potentially saving you $300+ per month compared to brand.
Prices for the same medication can vary by hundreds of dollars between pharmacies in the same city. Use Medfinder to find pharmacies with Vyvanse in stock near you—and compare pricing while you're at it.
Some insurance plans and mail-order pharmacies offer lower per-unit pricing for 90-day supplies. Check with your insurer to see if this is an option. Note: as a Schedule II controlled substance, Vyvanse has specific mail-order rules that vary by state.
If cost is a barrier, tell your doctor. They may be able to help with savings program enrollment, adjust your dose to a less expensive strength, or discuss whether a lower-cost therapeutic alternative (like generic Adderall XR or Concerta) could work for you.
