PSA! Concerta? Gone. Vyvanse? Broken – And Jane Called It a Year Ago


Listen Later

🎙️ NEW EMERGENCY EPISODE: Concerta’s Gone. Vyvanse is Broken. What Now?

If your child’s Vvyance suddenly stopped working, you’re not losing your mind. If Vyvanse has started turning you into a Tasmanian devil with insomnia—you’re not alone. And if you're wondering why no one in charge seems remotely concerned... well, Jane’s here to say what everyone else is thinking, what no one will say, and what absolutely no one is doing anything about.

Welcome to the ADHD medication crisis. It’s messy, it’s real, and Jane—who literally called this a year ago—has receipts.

🧠 In 2024 when the government decided to recommend everyone prescribed Vyvanse move over to Concerta during the first shortage, Jane said openly in multiple media stories, 'This is a terrible strategy and will cause a national Concerta shortage.'

Surprise: it did. And now we’re here—with no Concerta until late 2025, broken Vyvanse batches, and a TGA statement that basically says, 'Oops....not sure if Vvyance is a bit broken....'

🩺 And yes, the Vyvanse packaging had a few typos—because nothing says 'confidence in pharmaceutical quality control' like misspelling ‘Pharmaceutivals.’ It’s somehow funny and horrifying at once.

📖 Blog: It’s Not Just a Bad Week

💥 In this episode:

  • Why Jane is furious (again) and how the system keeps gaslighting families
  • The Vyvanse side effects no one wants to document: rage, sleep chaos, full regression
  • What’s going on with the supply chain and why it’s crumbling
  • The hidden cost: parents homeschooling, reducing work, and holding the whole thing together with duct tape
  • What to tell your doctor, paediatrician, school, and local MP
  • Low-demand parenting tips when meds are out, and your sanity is circling the drain

🔑 Key Point: This isn’t your child. It’s not you. It’s a national systems failure dressed in PR spin.

📣 Share this episode before another family gets gaslit into thinking they’re imagining things. Demand better. We’ve had enough.
