Why does Vyvanse make me hyper?

Too much dopamine and norepinephrine, a chemical similar to adrenaline, overexcites the brain and causes high energy, inattention, nervousness, agitation, excitability, or euphoria. If a person with normal levels of dopamine and norepinephrine is experiencing anxiety, Vyvanse will probably worsen the anxiety.

Does Vyvanse mess with sleep?

Is Vyvanse or Ritalin stronger?

A 2013 analysis of children and teens found the active ingredient in Vyvanse to be much more effective at relieving ADHD symptoms than the active ingredient in Ritalin.

Is Vyvanse a pro drug?

Vyvanse is the quintessential example of a “pro-drug”—an inactive substance that becomes active only after it is absorbed and then metabolized in the body to give the parent drug (4,5).

Does Vyvanse make you drowsy at higher levels?

So at the point when the med is at the highest level will, for some, make you drowsy at that point. Taking more to “wake up” is doing just the opposite of what you want. You may need to wait that high level out for a bit. That seems to be true for me. Both Vyvanse and Adderall make me drowsy at higher levels.

What is the difference between Adderall and Vyvanse?

Vyvanse was cleverly designed to overcome some of the liabilities of Adderall. And this new drug also provides a great example of how chemistry and biology can work together to address a problem. When people take Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine), they initially do not notice much of an effect. Maybe even none.

How long does it take for Vyvanse to kick in?

When people take Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine), they initially do not notice much of an effect. Maybe even none. But then, the drug slowly is converted in the blood into Adderall. The half-life (the time it takes for half of this conversion to take place) is about 3.5 hours.
