How many milligrams of Vyvanse are you taking? If it's not lasting the whole day, you dosage might not be optimal.
Rather than changing the dosage, you could try emptying the capsule contents, dissolving in water, drink half in the morning and half at noon. This would prolong the effect and prevent the "coming down."
Since Vyvanse is a prodrug, it is okay to empty capsules and dissolve in water. It does not affect the action of the drug.
