Is There Any Diet To Rekick The Span Of Vyvanse?

what is the life span of vyvanse, I see people talking about 12 hours but is this supposed to be true? Daughter is 9, 55 pounds and on the 20 mg. Still having some focus issues in school before the vyvanse should be wearing off. Is there a snack of sorts that would help this rekick in if it is wearing off? Should she drink some caffeine at lunchtime?

vyvans is a CNS stimulant which has a half life of 10-13 hours .
starting dose is usually 20 MG, if response is not achieved an increment with another 10 MG Is helpful , but this is must be done by her pediatrician to close monitor the drug and it's side effect
I hope this helps
