Which is stronger Vyvanse or Adderall?

Answer 1

That depends on the person and what effect they're looking for. Vyvanse has a longer half-life (last longer) and the desired effects are more stable throughout the effected time. Aderrall XR is less stable through it's shorter half-life; meaning that a person who is taking it can have more highs and lows throughout the effected time.

Answer 2

Both are strong but does depend on the dosage. Adderall is for short term use while vyvanse is for long term use (can last up to 12 hours). Also vyvanse can only be taken orally in order for it to work unlike adderall.

Answer 3

You: "Doctor, I haven't been comfortable with the vyvanse, it makes me feel.....(list the side

effects), and I was wondering you could put on a trial basis on adderall. I heard great

things about it compared to the other meds, I mean I do not know how any off that stuff

works but I know my body and I know you know what is best for me."

Dr: "Well, if you are uncomfortable with what I gave you and clearly it is not working for you,

we could try something else. I write you a script for adderall enough for a week as a trial

when I see you next week we'll see from there, alright"

>>>Just be honest, the drug isn't working for you, and you need something else<<<

Answer 4

ive been taking both drugs for the last year, im proscribed adderal but i prefer vyvanse and try to get my hands on em whenever i can.... they are extremely similar in chemical structure, and if your comparing adderal XR's (time release) to vivi's there's hardly a difference. vyvanse is smoother, but slightly heavier in that it doesn't feel as present, so it kinda takes over more... adderal (standard, not XR) is much more turbulent emotionally... and even the XR's (which last 12 hours as apposed to 4 or 5) are slightly more intense, in that you are more aware of it...

anyway, its a small diffrense... 30mg of XR's= about 70mg of vivi's.... in my experience at least...

if your looking for some recreation, i recommend adderal... if your looking to treat ADD or depression, i recommend vyvanse.... if your looking to study all night or right a script in a week i recommend XR's...

the real difference is the price.... adderal can be as cheap as $30 for a bottle of 10mgs and vivies can cost HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS for a bottle of 70's....

hope that helps...
