You’re absolutely correct that a medication isn’t going to react the same for every person. People can have weird or even fatal reactions to medications. Any local pharmacist should be able to answer questions about medications and interactions.
To be clear, I am just saying that if adderall works for someone, vyvanse is likely to work for that person as well, because the drugs are so similar. Vyvanse’s biggest difference from adderall is that it’s a prodrug, meaning that starts off as a drug that has no effects on the body until it reacts with an natural enzyme we have in our colon which causes the drug to turn into what is basically adderall.
Adderall is mixed amphetamine salts.
The mixture is composed of equal parts racemic amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which produces a ratio between dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine, the two enantiomers of amphetamine.
Compared to vyvanse:
Lisdexamfetamine is an inactive prodrug that is converted in the body to dextroamphetamine, a pharmacologically active compound which is responsible for the drug’s activity.
So technically, Adderall is dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine. I can’t speak more to this because of my lack of knowledge but “dextro” and “levo” are “right” and “left”, basically meaning something like the left and right “versions” (wrong word) of the molecule. Vyvanse on the otherhand is just the right “version” (wrong word) of the molecule.
OP: I hear you on not trying different meds, but one of these things is barely different from adderall (still very much a stimulant). Vyvanse is basically adderall xl, just in prodrug form. Apparently other commentors say it is allowed in japan. Prodrug just means that an enzyme plus the drug means your body creates the basically the same exact drug as adderall when ingested. If vyvanse is allowed but adderall is not that’s strange although one of vyvanse’s strengths is that it can’t be snorted, which might make some nations feel better about the drug’s potential for abuse, since it must be ingested to work.
I thought the NYPD made the choices. Don’t republicans back the blue?
I’m not spamming. I don’t think you understand what that word means. In the context of lemmy, it would mean repeating the same comment over and over without adding anything else to the conversation. That’s not what I’m doing, as you can see.
Well if you read the comment thread I think you’ll see that my point has been that it’s kind of stupid to pay $150,000,000 to acquire $104,000. I was using sarcasm to get my point across and encouraging people to vote republican so that they continued to be fleeced. I don’t actually want anyone to vote republican, becuase they only offer facism. But, that’s where we get these stupid policy decisions from - the GOP.
I haven’t met one personally. It was more of a hypothetical example. You could ask people and maybe they’d say “carter” but that’s before my era. We’ll probably never see a great ruler because to be truly great, they would need to be loved bipartisanly - I don’t think that’s a standard we’ll be able to hold in our lifetime.
Biden isn’t the worst, he’s a milquetoast compromiser, minor social programs that don’t change the status quo of rising homelessness, out of control rent and home prices, rising medical costs, rising child care costs, rising food costs, raising car costs, rising just living costs.
Ok so that’s a +1 for biden. (vs trump, that is)
But forget all that, on January 6th America came literally 1 vice president away from a fascist coup and nothing procedurally has changed to stop it from happening again, instead the republicans have spent 4 years learning from their narrow defeat and making steps to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
You’re expecting quite a lot of progress in 4 years, there. It’s an ongoing fight. It will probably take AT LEAST a few more terms and some real change in the midterms to increase the rate of progress.
Great leaders solve fundamental issues with their system, not maintain the failing status quo…
Yeah I feel like maybe some people are actually confused about my opinion here. I was just hoping to avoid a less scatagorical sentence but you took the wind right out of those sails.
I guess I don’t understand what the point is of saying it’s going to taste like shit? Like, voting for a great president that does everything you want is still going to taste like shit when you get the jury summons or in some states when you have to physically pokemon go to the polls.
edit: This doesn’t mean that I endorse not voting! To be clear, we need to vote.
