To Advance On Vyvanse II | ADHD Information

kinda off topic but how long does vyvanse REALLY last? some people here have said it lasts more than 12 hours, like 13-14; ideally my rx should last through ~10-11 PM, as i'm still doing schoolwork at that time. but i've also heard that it last less than 12 hours, more like 8-10, and if that were the case for me i would have to take a booster in the evening.

Hi Sober,

I just responded to your post in another section.  Most adults who are taking Vyvanse have stated it only lasts 8-10 hours and sometimes less.  It lasts 9-10 hours for me at the 60mg dose, on 30mg or 50mg it only lasted about 7-8 hours.  I know someone here posted that they take a Vyvanse in the morning and then take a short acting stimulant later in the day before the Vyvanse wore off completely and had success with that.

With my schedule now, the 9-10 hours works best for me because I take if after I nurse my baby around 9am and then I need it to wear off before I go to bed so I can nurse again arond 9pm and it is out of my system generally by 7pm.

You probably aren't on high enough of a dose.  Vyvanse hasn't really been approved for adults and the 30mg seems to be pretty low for adults, even kids seem to do better on a higher dose, but the doctors start you on a lower one and raise it up.  I have been on Vyvanse for a little over 2 weeks now.  The 30mg hasn't been as effective as when I doubled the dose to 60mg.  I have also felt more of a desire to have my own space, but I think some of that is because everything is so different now.  I was only recently diagnosed and haven't been on any other adhd meds.

I have been documenting my experience on Vyvanse on my blog, if you are interested.  I would like to hear more about your experience too.

Hi everybody!

The first day of 30 mg made me passive and I noticed I wanted to be alone.  Besides that, I had a little bit of irritability starting at the fourth hour.  I know everyone is different but anyone had similiar situtations?  Could it be that I miss the "high" from my 40 mg Ritalin LA?
