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.

25mg of lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) is similar to about 7.5mg of dextroamphetamine (wikipedia.org), but lisdexamfetamine is designed to last longer. Adderall is a mixture of 4 amphetamine salts (which comes in extend release Adderall XR and normal immediate release).

Since 12.5mg of Adderall is equivalent to about 7.8mg amphetamine base (rxlist.com), I would probably try 15mg Adderall XR (designed to be taken once a day in the morning). If that seems to strong or weak, 10 and 20mg Adderall XR are also available. (As well as non-XR Adderall in 5,7.5,10,12.5,15,20,25 and 30mg)

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.


If Dexedrine or adderall don't work for narcolepsy will Vyvanse?

It would more than likely not work, since Vyvanse is closely related to Adderall. I am being treated by a Psychiatrist for Narcolepsy. I am prescribed 50mg of Vyvanse per day. While Vyvanse is still an amphetamine salt it is a completely different drug than Adderall.


What contains amphetamines?

The most popular 4 would have to be: Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta, Vyvanse. I will warn you that these are meant for people that have been diagnosed with A.D.D / A.D.H.D. However, such a diagnoses (physically or mentally) does not exist. Anyways, I'm sure you've heard of what it can do to you so all I would say is be careful. Also, don't take more than 200mg of Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta, Vyvanse at a time because the side-effects or the overdose is terrible.


Is it safe to be on suboxone and Valium?

It is safe to be on Suboxone and Vyvanse at the same time. However, Vyvanse is considered to be a narcotic and Suboxone blocks the effects of narcotics. There would be no effect from Vyvanse if taken.


Vyvanse effects on normal people?

more importantly, why would you take it if you're normal?


Can People take 110mg of adderall at a time?

Yes you can. But unless you are not aware of the immediate side effects of adderall I would study up on the drug.


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.

How can you take Vyvanse?

You can obtain a prescription from a licensed medical doctor if you have ADHD, or for other reasons your physician sees fit. Obtaining Vyvanse otherwise is a federal offence and carries severe penalties due to Vyvanse containing a schedule II drug.


Is Vyvanse more more similar to Ritalin or adderall?

Vyvanse is a stimulant of the amphetamine class that is used to treat ADHD. It is closely related to Adderall. Vyvanse is a schedule II controlled substance.Strattera is a pseudostimulant used for the treatment of ADHD, since it has a much lower potential for abuse than amphetamines. It is not a member of the amphetamine class. It is not a scheduled controlled substance.Strattera is classified as a non-stimulant drug, it is in the group of SNRIs - serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, while Vyvanse is a stimulant belonging to amphetamines.Strattera cannot make one feel 'high', so it really has a very low potential for abuse. But when used for treatment of ADHD, Strattera works slower than Vyvanse and other stimulants. To achieve the desired effects one may need several weeks.On the other hand, it is said that effects of Strattera are more steady, and patients on Strattera can feel fine all day long, while Vyvanse only boosts their abilities for a short period after being taken.


Is it bad to mix Pot and Vyvanse?

There are no added Effects if that's what your trying to achieve. You will get the same "high" and it will also require much more marijuana in order to feel the same effect as you would without vyvanse.Results will Very with the potency of your marijuana───────────────────────────────────────1.5Grams without Vyvanse = Lifted/High/Cloud9/Smacked1.5Grams With Vyvanse = Buzzed/Good Feeling


Can you mix Adderall and zanex taking low doesage Adderall in the morning and a zanex before bed?

Yes. My doctor has prescribed me vyvanse (newer version of ADHD drug, similar to Adderol, but last 12 hours and better on your heart), as well as .5mg xanax, 3 a day. So since my phychiatrist prescibes this to me and I am monitored monthly, I would believe this is a safe combination. I am to take my vyvanse and one .5 xanax in morning. and 2 .5 xanax before bed.
