Best Answer

Short answer: yes.

Vyvance is basically the same thing as other ADD medications except it is bonded with the amino acid lysine. Meaning that after it goes into your liver, the amino acid is removed and you are left with the active ingredient of Vyvanse, which is "Dextroamphetamine" It's designed that way to try and reduce the potential for abuse, because the drug won't work if someone were to snort it to try and get high. It only works when taken orally. It can still be abused that way.

Differences between Adderall and Vyvanse euphoria?

Vyvanse is lisdexamfetamine, while Adderall is dextroamphetamine, aka (a-methylphenethylamine). Vyvanse is a pro-drug for dextroamphetamine, meaning it is only active after you eat it, so there is little to no abuse potential. Basically, Vyvanse is dextroamphetamine bonded with lysine (an essential amino acid). The euphoria experienced with 50mg Vyvanse orally, is comparable to 25mg Adderall orally. However Adderall is active through insufflation (snorting) so I would assume the euphoria would be better on Adderall.


Is vyvanse a stimulant?

No. Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is metabolized into dextroamphetamine, a stimulant. Like a narcotic, potential for drug abuse/dependency exists and it is a class II controlled substance. However, vyvanse is NOT a narcotic. A narcotic refers to opiates or opioids (e.g., heroin, morphine, codeine). Vyvanse is an amphetamine. A different answer: Yes. Vyvanse is a controlled substance in most countries in the world. Vyvanse is a pro-drug of dextroamphetamine. Dextroamphetamine has valid medical uses (such as ADHD, narcolepsy) but carries a risk of addiction and psychological dependence. For this reason, it is illegal to obtain or use Vyvanse without a prescription from a doctor.
