[quote=Anonymous]Actually, I am a doctor and I stand by advice to work with a doctor skilled in prescribing psychostimulants.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt thinking perhaps you were mis-remembering what you'd seen.  Instead, I see you exemplify the problems with "research by Google".  You don't have sufficient knowledge to understand and evaluate what you read.

Addiction and abuse are very different things.  Pretty much every chemical in your house or shed can be abused in some way (just Google it to find out).  That doesn't make them addictive nor must they be avoided.  Vyvanse is a stimulant but that effect is limited by the body's ability to process it, particularly in the gut and liver which is where lisdexamfetamine is absorbed.  Also, the doses given to the subjects you cited are well above the allowable prescribed levels.   In order to experience effects equivalent to immediate release dextroamphetamine, the subject took 150 mg - more than twice the maximum recommended dose.  I know from experience that some insurance companies won't reimburse medication costs for doses in excess of 70 mg and if a patient doesn't have significant improvements at 70 mg, it's time to try another product.
