[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband took it, it is a long acting amphetamine.  Used for treatment of ADD.    I am sure someone would take it for weight loss, or energy.  It is dangerous, my husband had an undiagnosed heart valve defect, and this drug made it a lot worse.  He is off of it for now, but he was pretty addicted to it.[/quote]

In what way was he addicted to it?  It doesn't provide the rush that other stimulants provide and it generally takes a while for the drug to leave the body so you don't crash when you miss a dose.  [/quote]

All of the info I've read online says that it is highly addictive and does indeed cause a high. Not all forms of the med is extended release, as well.[/quote]

I don't think you're reading about Vyvanse because it only comes in extended release.  There are several strengths but they are ALL extended release.  Perhaps you're reading about amphetamines in general?  There are many types of amphetamines and people react to and metabolize them differently, that's why it's so important to work with a doctor skilled in using psychostimulants.  Vyvanse is not physically addictive and, as the PP noted, doesn't provide a high even when crushed and snorted.  It's nothing at all like caffeine, cigarettes, opiates or crystal meth.[/quote]

Are you a doctor? If not please stop giving advice.
