The FDA approved this new d-amphetamine based treatment for Adhd, called Vyvanse. It seems that Shire bought New River, the company that developed the drug, outright. Here is the important information from the Shire website about its reported action, followed by the link to wikipedia. It would nice to see a trial of this next to dexedrine alone.
(Thanks Laima for mentioning this in an above thread)
"New River developed VYVANSE as a new ADHD medication designed to provide lower potential for abuse, in which d-amphetamine is covalently linked to l-lysine, a naturally occurring amino acid. The combination is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and converted to d-amphetamine, which is responsible for VYVANSE’s activity."
