>Vyvanse as you have read is d-amphetamine combined with lysine that make it inactive until the lysine is disconnected from the d-amphetamine in the stomach. I took vyvanse 30 mg which contains 8.9 milligrams of d-amphetamine over about a 12 hour period. So you really need to find the right dosage. My dosage made me feel alert and did improve mood without that euphoria and over stimulation that some formulations provide. I might try vyvanse 40 mg that would give me about 12 mg of d-amphetamine. I think it's a matter of getting the dose right. But like any amphetamine there still could be issues of tolerance.In one post there are meds mentioned that could provide tolerance. I tried memantine but couldn't tolerate it.
