What is Vyvanse Used For?
Vyvanse
is available as a fast-acting or slow-release tablet or chewable. The
drug takes effect within about 2 hours of use and typically lasts 10-12
hours following the dose. It’s also normally prescribed in 10, 20, or
30mg pills or chewable tablets. This avoids many of the issues with
Adderall, where users who can’t take pills are told to break the
capsules open.
All amphetamines can be
used as a physical and mental performance enhancer. Vyvanse is rarely
used for performance enhancement (although it does happen). Instead, the
drug is favored as a “study” drug. Here, students in high school and
college use Vyvanse to increase focus, memory, working memory, and
inhibition control. This makes it easier for students to study, to stay
awake and alert for tests. Some studies suggest that as many as 35% of college students use
amphetamine derivatives like Vyvanse for this purpose. At the same
time, taking larger doses can result in cognitive deterioration rather
than modest improvement. Here, users take anywhere from 20 to 50 mg of
Vyvanse, usually spread out over the duration of their study.
All
amphetamines cause euphoria in large enough doses. Here, the user will
experience 10-12 hours of being “high”, where they seem energetic,
active, engaged, and quick to focus on something. This euphoria is
normally followed by a crash period, especially if the individual is
taking high doses of the drug. However, Vyvanse is not popular for
euphoric purposes because it cannot be injected. The drug only works
orally, limiting the total high the user can get from the drug.
