Lisdexamfetamine: Difference between revisions

'''Lisdexamfetamine''' (also known as '''lisdextroamphetamine''', '''L-lysine-dextroamphetamine''', or '''lisdexamfetamine dimesylate''' when under the brand names '''Elvanse''', '''Tyvense''', and '''Vyvanse''') is a [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] substance of the [[chemical class::amphetamine]] class. It is a "mutual [[prodrug]]" ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codrug codrug]) for [[Amphetamine#Enantiomers|<small>d</small>-amphetamine]] (dextroamphetamine) that is approved for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and moderate to severe binge-eating disorder.<ref>https://www.drugs.com/pro/vyvanse.html</ref> Like amphetamine, lisdexamfetamine produces its effects by promoting the release of [[neurotransmitters]] [[dopamine]] and [[norepinephrine]] in the brain.

[[Subjective effects]] are essentially identical to that of dextroamphetamine except with a slower onset and a longer duration. These include [[stimulation (in a small percent of the population paradoxal sedation)]], [[focus enhancement]], [[motivation enhancement]], [[euphoria]], and in a smaller population . However, unlike dextroamphetamine, lisdexamfetamine was specifically designed to prevent non-oral forms of administration (marketed as an anti-abuse design). This means that [[insufflation]], [[Route of administration#Smoked|smoking]] or [[Route of administration#Injection|injection]] do not provide faster absorption or onset. It is sometimes sold and used illicitly as a "study drug" as well as a recreational substance.

Despite the marketed anti-abuse design, many users report that lisdexamfetamine is capable of producing dependence and addiction like other [[euphoric]] stimulants, particularly when it is taken above the recommended dosage. As a result, it is highly advised to use [[harm reduction practices]] if using this substance.
