Are Lisdexamfetamine capsules addictive

Answer 1

Yes, but less addictive than Adderall.

With prolonged use of lisdexamfetamine capsules(such as Vyvanse), a patient can become more and more dependent on these capsules for various reasons. One of these reasons being that your brain knows that the drug makes you feel "good" in a sense, and your brain longs for that feeling of well-being, similar to how young children long for sweets and ice cream.

However, just like you have to watch your intake of sweets, you also have to watch your intake of these capsules. Anything is good when taken in moderation, but if you continue to take a massive quantity of these capsules on a daily basis, this can quickly lead to a hard-to-overcome addiction. The

In short, as long you take the amount that your doctor prescribed and don't go overboard, you should be fine. If you have any other concerns about lisdexamfetamines, just ask your doctor.
