⚙️ How Vyvanse Works

• It is a prodrug, meaning it becomes active only after metabolism.
• Converted in the bloodstream to dextroamphetamine, which increases dopamine and norepinephrine levels.
• This mechanism leads to gradual onset (90 min–2 h) and steady symptom control with fewer “peaks and crashes” than Adderall or Focalin.
