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.

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.
