Question

Im female and i tooka Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) 70mg yesterday, i weigh about 135lbs. How long will it take to get out of my system for a mouth swab drug test?

Answer 1

Not Long: Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) usually starts working within 1.5 hours of taking it. It attains its maximal effect after about 4 hours and sustains this for up to 12 hours. Food may delay attaining the maximal effect by about an hour.

Answer 2

Right away: Stimulant medications like vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) tend to work right away, the first day, the first few hours after taking the vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine). Stimulant medications do not build up or take a while to work. In fact, they are taken in the mornings and mostly wear off every evening. If they did not wear off, a person would not be able to sleep. As far as the effects, it depends on what "target symptoms" you are treating.

Answer 3

Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine): Usually within an hour, and lasts up to 12 hours, with optimum dose.

Answer 4

Depends what : If you mean normalizing the condition, this could take a while. If you mean detectable amounts in the blood stream, it's about 90 minutes. The treatment of adhd with stimulants requires upward titration of the dose to achieve a targeted outcome (the standard of care is normalization). In some patients this occurs quickly, in others it may take some time to get safely to the point of normal.

Answer 5

ADD and ADHD: It is an approved medication to treat attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity disorders in children and adults.

Answer 6

Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine): It is also the longest acting psychostimualnt, which typically works up to 10-11 hours. You can dissolve it in the glass of water if the child has problems swallowing pills.

Answer 7

ADHD: There are other things it has been used for, but adhd is the only one it is indicated (officially supposed to be used) for. If you need more information, please add more details.

Answer 8

Stimulant prodrug: Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is unique in psychiatry in that it is what is called a prodrug. It is amphetamine attached to lysine, an amino acid. In that form, it is inactive. But, when swallowed, it is metabolized in the both, breaking the bond to release d-amphetamine. Since metabolism controls its release, it tends to start more slowly but it lasts longer than any other oral stimulant. It still is amphetamine.

Answer 9

Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine): FDA approved for ADHD.

Answer 10

Side efects: Insomnia, anxiety disorder, palpitation, dependance, like amphetamines can induce to panic attack , panic disorders, agitation, dry mouth, headache, irritability, visual problems, .....

Answer 11

Many: You can look up the side-effects to drugs on the internet. Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is a stimulant medication and actually has too many side effects to even begin to list them all here. One side-effect is psychosis. Another one is depression. Anxiety and insomnia are common side-effects. It can cause high blood pressure. Weight loss is common. Feeling jittery and hyper is not unusual with vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine). Addiction also.

Answer 12

Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine): Same side effects as any stimulant, appetite drop, headache, irritability, nausea, rica, etc.

Answer 13

Yes.: Usually, a good doctor will take a complete medical history and review old records before continuing a medication like vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine). You can facilitate this by bringing in a copy of your medical records from your previous physician. If after reviewing the records and discussing your symptoms, the doctor feels like Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) isn't the best medication for you, they will counsel you appropriately.

Answer 14

Probably: What stimulant a doctor prescribes to treat adhd varies by many factors, among them the doctor's preference and your prior experience with stimulants. Another key factor is what stimulants your health insurance company covers, because that can affect your cost enormously.. If you are doing well, your new doctor will want you to continue to do so. But, he/she may still want to discuss options.

Answer 15

Prodrug: Vyvase is converted in the liver into detroamphetamine, a stimulant used for adhd.

Answer 16

Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine): Two part answer: (1) vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is a compounded molecule of a normal Amino Acid and amphetamine. This property allows for its longer action in a unique way to the CNS stimulants as it takes time for the body to break it down before it works. (2) as an stimulant, it increases Dopamine and norepinephrine available to the part of the brain that allows one to inhibit undesired impulses and distractions.

Answer 17

Over 24 hours: Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is the longest acting oral stimulant; at high enough doses, amphetamine can be detected the next day, although at fairly low concentrations. Still, like with other stimulants, it seems to be effective only on days taken. There is not evidence of which i'm aware that it accumulates over time--though it might at the highest doses.
