>Vyvanse is lisdexamphetamine - it's converted into dextroamphetamine at some point in the digestive canal, and is therefore regarded as less abusable than straight dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine), which can be snorted or - by the most adventurous - dissolved and injected.
If you don't want Adderall - which is a mixture of amphetamines - because it's "speed", it makes little sense to want Vyvanse or other amphetamine-based products. The other options most likely to be effective are:
* [d,l-]methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, etc.)
* d-methylphenidate (Focalin)
* modafinil (Provigil, Modiodal, etc.)
* guanfacine (Tenex, Estulic, etc.)There are many factors to consider, including at least properties, availability, price, and duration of action.
