Will Sleeping Problem Reduce By Having Vyvanse With Lemon Juice?
my doctor prescribed me with vyvanse however the durations lasts too long and i have trouble sleeping, i was recommended another medication called concerta but i heard vyvanse was the safest and was made to become less abusable, he recommended i break the capsule and drink with something acidic like lemon juice, would this work?

Hi,
I can't recommend that. It is not safe to take medications in ways not studied by the manufacturer. Drugs absorption studies are done under strict conditions and changing the way they are administered may affect its absorption and blood levels, it should not cause harm, but not guaranteed to achieve the desired effect.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
