Yes. Vyvanse has been clinically proven to be effective in treating individuals with inattention or hyperactive subtypes of ADHD. Vyvanse is the brand name for lisdexamfetamine; this is a pro-drug for dextroamphetamine. Dextroamphetamine has been used for years in treatment of ADHD. Vyvanse is only digestable through the liver which allows the drug to last longer (providing more hours through the day) and come on smoother (which makes it less abusable).
