Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX

Thanks for writing to us.

Elvanse contains Lisdexamfetamine - a drug from amphatmine group. In general drugs from amphatamine groups are used to treat obesity. However it is strict prescription drug and must be used under medical supervision only. They have high dependence and addiction potential with some side effects.
You need to consult doctor for take the prescription. Online prescription is not valid. I am sorry for limitation from our side. It is better to take medicine after consulting local doctor so any side effect occurs by chance doctor can provide immediate help.

In binge eating with psychotherapy orlistat and sibutramine are other medicines which are very much useful. You can ask about these options to your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Regards,

Dr.Chintan Solanki.
