This article might be useful for you, especially the part about how Vyvanse has reduced abuse liability.

Lisdexamfetamine: a prodrug stimulant for ADHD.
Howland RH.
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. HowlandRH@upmc.eduThis article reviews the unique prodrug stimulant lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (LDX, Vyvanse), an approved treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. LDX is an inactive prodrug in which l-lysine is chemically bonded to d-amphetamine. Although its efficacy is not significantly different from that of other stimulants, LDX may be different with respect to potential toxicity and abuse liability. In this article, I will review the short-term controlled studies that were the basis for LDX's approval for both children and adults; the lack of and need for more long-term studies; two double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover studies that examined LDX's abuse liability; and clinical uses for the drug. The clinical implications stemming from LDX's unique characteristics are also discussed.

Not only is there obviously no coverage, but I probably paid at least twice as much as it would cost at a pharmacy. And all to give me a huge tease of how well I could feel in life if I was somebody other than me.
