Looking for a cheaper alternative to Vyvanse

I am currently taking Vyvanse, but since it is so expensive I need to switch medications. I tried nearly all medications available to treat my ADD and Vyvanse worked best, but I have to find another one due to the price. Which stimulant is most like Vyvanse? Has anyone done well with Vyvanse and also done well with a different medication, and if so what is the other medication?

I did okay with vyvanse, it helped the adhd but I had horrible side effects with my gut so I switched off of it to adderall, which has worked the best for me

There's non-name brand adderall, which might work for you

Use Goodrx in conjunction with switching off name brand if you can, the discounts can really help if money is tight

yeah aside from trying a separate medication there may be a local or state program to get aid from, as well? Not sure if that's a thing but there could be and aside from changing to Adderall, which has worked for me and my sister, the only other thing I could think of would be looking for discounts/a different store pharmacy.
