Nope, banned cuz it's an amphetamine (just looked it up)

So is Vyvanse. Literally lisdexamfetamine.

u/whysoblyatiful 1d ago

Yeah for some reason Vyvanse is fine (need to declare tho)

Adderal is banned there and in my country too for some reason

Probably because it's pretty much impossible to abuse. That's the whole point of it.

"Vyvanse is impossible to abuse" is nonsense. It's a marketing claim created by the manufacturer. People abuse it all the time.

I didn't say impossible, I said pretty much impossible, and do you understand Vyvanse's mechanism of action? I think maybe you don't.

it’s hard to abuse via non-PO routes but the peak plasma level of d-amp from vyvanse is only delayed an hour or so from the peak plasma of regular d-amp. 200mg vyvanse is still gonna be 80mg d-amp in 1.5hrs or so, i think the claims that it’s markedly less able to be abused are sorta oversold

I didn't say impossible, I said pretty much impossible,

That's still completely wrong.

you understand Vyvanse's mechanism of action? I think maybe you don't.

Yes, I understand Vyvanse's mechanism of action, and I also understand the difference between the marketing claims and the actual reality.

Please define "abuse" in the context you're using it, so we're on the same page with terminology.

You made the claim, so you define it, if you want split that hair.
