Hi,
Vyvanse is a medication prescribed for ADHD. It is a controlled substance. So, doctors usually prescribe small doses. The strength of Vyvanse wears off over time. So many patients search for ways to intensify Vyvanse thoughout the day which is usually for 8-9 hours. However, increasing the dosage more than the prescribed amount may be considered drug abuse and can result in sereval side effects and life threatening risks.
To intensify Vyvanse and things to get in order to make it last longer. There are some common methods to intensify Vyvanse like magnesium or gingko pills may intensify it, add enough protein in the diet, maintain a steady exercise schedule, avoid vitamin C products, acidic juices or caffeine, learn about drug interactions that makes it less effective. Before reducing or increasing the doses of Vyvanse, you should consult your doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
