No. Vyvanse is a lisdexamfetamine dimesylate. Adderall XR is comprised of mixed salts of a single-entity amphetamine product (Dextroamphetamine saccharate, Amphetamine Aspartate, Dextroamphetamine Sulfate, and Amphetamine Sulfate).

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.


What is the difference in Vyvanse and Adderall?

Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is an inactive prodrug to Dextro-amphetamine that's broken down in the digestive tract somewhere into Levo-lysine (the AA) and Dextro-amphetamine. About 50% of the active compounds in Adderall are Dextro-amphetamine salts, the other half being two racemic amphetamine salts. So, Adderall consists of roughly 75% Dextro-amphetamine, the ultimate active metabolite of lisdexamfetamine, and 25% Levo-amphetamine. There are also differences in their pharmacokinetics. Adderall comes in immediate and extended release formulas. Vyvanse has a very long effetcs duration, longer then the extended release Adderall. I would take Vyvanse in the morning and always be good for the rest of the day, while the Adderall XRs wore off earlier.


Does Vyvanse contain aspirin?

No; Vyvanse contains lisdexamfetamine.


What dose of adderall would produce the same effects as 20 mg per day of Vyvanse?

Adderall XR comes in multiple dosage forms, and usually these are easily transcribed to IR or visa versa. However, 20 mg. of IR 3x daily does not have an equivalent XR dosage for the triple daily dose. The manufacturer offers Adderall XR 30 mg. capsules, which would mean you would take the full 60 mg dose (2 capsules) all in the morning. It would end up being equivalent to taking two 30mg dosages of IR, rather than 3x 20 mgs daily. If you feel that the 3x 20 mg. daily dosing of IR is too important, you might want to just stay on that version. You can always talk to your doc and see whats available.


How long does lisdexamfetamine stay in your system?
