In reply to Adderall (Generic or not) Vs. Vyvanse, posted by Dorian W. Gray on June 30, 2009, at 21:23:41
I was also taking Adderall XR and introduced to Vyvanse when it came to market a couple of years ago. To me it does last longer than Adderall and the effects are the same if not better possibly due to its longer lasting effect during the day. I sometimes have nightime insomnia when trying to fall asleep but take 5mg of Ambien which helps. I take 30mg of Vyvanse and all I need as it is available in 80mg. I have been taking 30mg for the past 2 years and really have not developed a tolerance that I am aware of unlike the Ambien but refuse to go over 5mg of Ambien.
> First of all, any generic medication should yield the same result as the original, brand named,drugs would have. Therefore, generic Adderall XRshould be just fine. Mentally, some people don't think that it does, hence they feel all the negative/side effects that they might have read or heard about, or deny its good effects, it true purpose, mentally.

However, a few years ago, my doctor suggested this new medicine, Vyvanse XR, I think they only come in with XR; however, Vyvanses extended release is longer than Adderall. Therefore, I tried it, and I have been on it since. I feel that it works better than Adderall, and I only have to take it once a day, as appose to twice a day, when I was on Adderall.
