hi,
it is not exactly similar to steroids.just gives steroid like feeling
taking vyvanse causes mood elation and studies show that it increases concentration,self confidence, alertness,apprehensive behaviour..
it is a normal side effect of vyvanse to have more energy like "on steroids".nothing to worry..
continue with the drug..if you want to take any other drug along with it please consult your doctor..it has a lot of drug interactions with other durgs

you can also practice meditation..which is shown to have benefits without side effects.
if you have any more queries i would be happy to help you..
I find this answer helpful
