'''Lisdexamfetamine''' (also known as '''lisdextroamphetamine''', '''L-lysine-dextroamphetamine''', or '''lisdexamfetamine dimesylate''' when under the brand names '''Elvanse''' and '''Vyvanse''') is a prescription [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] substance of the [[chemical class::amphetamine]] class. Lisdextroamphetamine is a [[prodrug]] for [[Amphetamine#Enantiomers|<small>d</small>-amphetamine]] (dexamphetamine, or dextroamphetamine) which is a strong central nervous system (CNS) stimulant.
