What is Vyvanse?
Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is a prescription-only central nervous system (CNS) stimulant medication that’s often prescribed for people with ADHD but can also be prescribed for other conditions. Getting a Vyvanse prescription online is easy and convenient, especially for those too busy to visit their primary care physician or psychologist for a prescription refill.
What Does Vyvanse Treat?
Vyvanse is commonly used to treat ADHD in adults and children over 6 years and moderate to severe binge eating disorder (BED) in adults. Healthcare providers may also prescribe Vyvanse for other conditions, like narcolepsy and treatment-resistant depression.
How Does Vyvanse Work?
Stimulant ADHD medications like Vyvanse work by affecting the balance of brain chemicals. They help decrease impulsiveness and improve attention levels by increasing norepinephrine (a stimulant) and dopamine (a complex hormone that affects your behavior and emotions). The result is a reduction of your ADHD symptoms, allowing you to function and focus better throughout the day.
Vyvanse comes in two forms: chewable tablets and capsules. Both come in 10 mg to 60 mg in 10 mg increments, while the capsules also come in a 70 mg dosage. Both types of Vyvanse are intended to be taken in the morning by mouth, either with or without food.
How Long Does Vyvanse Take to Work?
Although some mental health medications, like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), can take several weeks to start working, CNS stimulants like Vyvanse begin working the first time you take them.
- Adults taking Vyvanse for ADHD will notice an improvement in attention within 2 hours of taking a dose, lasting up to 14 hours in total.
- Children aged 6 to 12 will often notice a difference within 90 minutes of taking a dose, and the medication’s effects last up to 13 hours in total.
Who Can Prescribe Vyvanse?
Because Vyvanse is a federally controlled substance, finding a prescriber can be tricky. A medical professional must be registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to prescribe controlled substances like stimulant medications.
Typically, one of the following professionals can prescribe Vyvanse:
- Primary care physician (PCP)
- Psychiatrists
- Medical doctors (MDs)
- Doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs)
- Family physicians
- Neurologists
If properly credentialed, physician assistants and nurse practitioners may also be able to prescribe Vyvanse. You can also get a Vyvanse prescription online from one of ADHDAdvisor’s mental health clinicians.
Symptoms Treated by Vyvanse
Vyvanse is used to treat the most common ADHD symptoms, including inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity. Taking Vyvanse can help if you experience any of the following:
- Difficulty sustaining attention during work, play, or in conversations
- Loss of focus when performing tasks that require sustained attention
- Difficulty organizing tasks and activities or keeping track of belongings
- Forgetfulness in daily activities
- Losing important items
- Being easily distracted by unrelated thoughts
- Fidgeting and squirming while seated
- Frequent restlessness
- Consistent motion
- Excessive talking and interrupting others
- Impatience and difficulty waiting for your turn
Additionally, Vyvanse can treat common symptoms of binge eating disorder by regulating appetite and promoting fullness. It’s not fully understood how or why Vyvanse helps treat binge eating disorder; however, half of the participants in a study who took 70 mg of Vyvanse stopped bingeing, compared to two out of 10 participants taking a placebo with no medication.
How to Get a Vyvanse Prescription Online
Is it Legal to Get Vyvanse Online?
Vyvanse is a federally controlled substance in the U.S., so only licensed medical professionals registered with the DEA can prescribe it. However, in 2020, the DEA released a new regulation permitting controlled substances to be prescribed via telehealth.
That regulation has been extended three times, allowing licensed mental health clinicians, like those at ADHDAdvisor, to prescribe medications like Vyvanse online legally until Dec. 31, 2025.

Vyvanse Dosage Information and Guidelines
Your Vyvanse dosage will depend on your symptoms and your clinician’s recommendation. However, the typical starting dosage for adults is 30 mg every morning. Your practitioner will touch base with you regularly to determine whether that dosage is appropriate or whether you could benefit from a higher dosage. The maximum daily dose of Vyvanse for adults is 70 mg.
Reporting side effects and issues associated with your prescribed dosage is important because this information can help your clinician make better decisions about how to manage your ADHD symptoms. It’s also essential to follow the instructions on your prescription and never take more than your prescriber’s recommended dose.
