Vyvance for ADHD: Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine), (lisdexamfetamine) unlike other stimulants, has to go through the stomach and be digested before it can become active. That means it's much less likely that Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) will be abused, since it can't be snorted, etc., like other ADHD medicines. Another potential benefit of Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is that it lasts a full 12 hours, whereas other long-acting ADHD medicines tend to last 10 to 12 hours. It goeds thru. the stomach.
