Why is Vyvanse? UK based.

Vyvanse is like long acting adderall that cannot be crushed and snorted. Must be metabolized in your digestion to become active.

It's always extremely weird to me when people have to make this distinction because I was under the impression that ALL Adderall prescriptions are for the XR extended release which comes in capsules full of small beads of medication. No one should be taking Adderall IR instant release tablets. Those things have almost no reason to exist. I really don't understand who is taking those things and where people are getting the impression that IR tablets are a normal Adderall formulation. "Long acting" Adderall has been the norm for decades now and I haven't even seen or heard of anyone taking IR tablets since like the early 2000's

Thank you. Will ask my doctor.

Not to be confused with "Adderall XR", which like Vyvanse is meant for slower and longer release than normal Adderall.

At least for me, Vyvanse is much more tolerable than Adderall XR.

Lisdexamfetamine, it’s very similar to Adderall but more expensive as it comes in capsules instead of tablets, but the upside is it lasts all day instead of a few hours. It recently became generic in the US, but is still around $60-120 a month’s supply (at least at my dosage), vs $25 or so for a month of Adderall.
