No: Intuniv is a blood pressure medicine and vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is a stimulant. I think the prescribing of Intuniv to adults is an interesting treatment proposition. My intuition is that this treatment approach would benefit adults who manifest hyperactivity although attention may be enhanced. The advantage would be that Intuniv would most likely have a lower side effect profile as compared to vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine).
