idk much about add/adhd drugs, but from my experience with friends and such, it seems that they are just prescribing "legal" street drugs through pharmaceutical companies. to me, this is their way of cutting out cartels and street pushers - mainly so they can gain profit. sick, sad world we live in.
i found this link,
Vyvanse Uses, Dosage, Side Effects & Warnings - Drugs.com maybe it can help you figure some things out. not sure. i can't really understand much from this site, but it is a controlled substance and has potential for abuse and dependency.
thank you for attempting to find answers and keep your sobriety.
