Vyvanse is a new drug on the market which only recently got FDA approval. Up until the point where it gets FDA approval the drug cannot be sold and so no money is being made on it. That means that the initial research costs, which often times can be huge, need to be made back before the drug can drop in price. This is why often times drugs are more expensive when they are new and then you will see a gradual drop in price as the drug becomes older and the company starts to make a profit as opposed to paying research expenses.
Adderall is a combination of amphetamine salts(~75% Dextroamphetamine and ~25% Levoamphetamine). Vyvanse is a pro-drug called Lisdexamphetamine dimesylate (Dextroamphetamine coupled with Lysine molecule for longer lasting effects as well as to diminish abuse potential)
Adderall and Vyvanse are both Schedule II Controlled Substances, becuase of the active ingredient Dextroamphetamine, despite the lowered abuse potential of Vyvanse.
Adderall IR effects last 4-6 hours, dependent on the dose.
Adderall XR effects last from 9 to 12 hours.
Vyvanse effects last from 6-13 hours.
Vyvanse is, IMHO, shockingly expensive. It does work quite well, however. (I dislike Adderall, and extended release formulations never work well for me - Vyvanse is an exception.) Dexedrine still works better, for me.
30 capsules, 20mg (20mg of Vyvanse is almost none), lists at about $200 (Walgreens). 60mg capsules cost about twice that.
The active ingredient in Vyvans is released in the body over time instead of all at once. It's a time-released version of Adderall.

adderral does not get you high but it will affect your brain, it'll only be a side affects. it just makes you not eat alot. but it can get you high if you get different side affects. but mostly like it wont get you high.
My Son has tourettes and tics, but both have been very minimal in the past few years. He feels he needs something to help his ADHD so his Neurologist (World Renoun) has prescribed 18mg of Concerta. I'm confused, as the warnings specify "not to be used with patients having touretts & tics.
Vyvanse is only used for ADHD
vyvanse in the morning and seroquel at night
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.
