About
Vyvanse is a prescription medication primarily used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and binge eating disorder
Vyvanse is available in capsule form and is typically taken once daily in the morning. The dosage is usually tailored to each individual based on factors such as age, weight, and the severity of symptoms. It's important to follow the prescribing doctor's instructions carefully and to avoid altering the dosage or frequency without consulting them first.
Once metabolized, lisdexamfetamine converts into dextroamphetamine, which helps increase the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters play a role in regulating attention, focus, and impulse control, which are areas often affected in individuals with ADHD.
