Concerta and Vyvanse are both extended-release central nervous system stimulants. Combining stimulants can increase the risk of cardiac events, cause high blood pressure, and other life-threatening side effects. Only take this combination if your doctor has prescribed both medications to you.
The difference between Xanax and Xanax extended release is that the XR, or extended release lasts all day while releasing medication over time.
no it is not extended release if it is extended then there should be ER written on pack
is extended and prolonged the same
If your ADHD medication is wearing off too quickly, you should consult with your doctor about alternative treatments: Adderall XR, Vyvanse, and Daytrana are all extended-release preparations of stimulant medications. Strattera is a non-stimulant option that lasts longer than most stimulants. If you are taking an amphetamine-based ADHD medication (Adderall, Dexedrine, Vyvanse) consuming acidic drinks before taking medication could reduce the effectiveness.

You can cut it in half, but it would defeat the purpose of "extended release"
No. The IR you are referring to is "instant release" if they were extended release, they would have a coating of some sort with them.
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.
No; Vyvanse contains lisdexamfetamine.
It will show up as Amphetamine (whether legal: adderall, dexedrine, and vyvanse, or illegal: speed). Unfortunately they can not tell which you took, all it is to them is "AMPHETAMINE". SO unless you have a valid prescription you should be fine (not in all cases).
Immediate release is for break away pain. For the now effects to where extended is for a longer period. For example you take a extended release, And your next 1 is in 6 hours but you are feeling pain again in 3-4 hours, you could take the immediate release.
