In reply to How does Vyvanse compare to Dexedrine?, posted by Phidippus on December 14, 2009, at 18:29:18
> I am picking up my script for 70 mg Vyvanse tomorrow and just wanted to hear of any experiences. Are there differences between it and Dexedrine?
Never had dexedrine but did have vyvanse 50 mg. Each molecule of d-amphetamine is attached to a molecule of lysine. This means it is inactive until it is in the stomach and the lysine is digested. This liberates the d-amphetamine to be used by the body. So the release at least for me was slower than adderall-xr. So I just felt that alert stimulant feeling and some mood elevation without the euphoria feeling. I felt it was a smooth drug.
However like any amphetamine I am very prone to tolerance and the drug stopped working. Rather than keep upping the dose I stopped the med. But for those who don't have rapid tolerance problems it is worth trying. The d-amphetamine had a strong dopamine feeling where other stimulants have more of a norepinephrine feeling. More interested in listening to music and other pleasurable activites than let's say raking the yard.
