Vyvanse vs. Adderall. Top NYC Psychiatrist Dr Edward Fruitman, M.D. from Trifecta Health ( shares his opinion on this matter. Both amphetamine-based stimulants are used for ADD/ADHD in order to improve attention and concentration for those affected by the disorder. The difference, however, comes from how they are formulated and how they are taken.
Adderall, is more flexible as it can be taken multiple times during the day, depending on the individual's needs. Vyvanse, on the other hand, is commonly taken once a day. Furthermore, adderall has an immediate release; which can produce a "peak effect" which can be undesirable for those who do not want to feel "over-stimulated". Whereas, Vyvanse will not produce this "peak effect" as it its release is extended and produces consistent and balanced stimulation throughout the entire day. Furthermore, Vyvanse cannot be broken up or snorted; therefore one must swallow it whole which cuts down on the risk of over-use or abuse.

Inattentiveness, impulsive behavior and hyperactivity are generally common for children and teenagers. But when this type of behavior is extreme, it is called Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Such children’s behavior is different from other children of the same age.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is called ADHD.
The symptoms of the disorder consists of two part. Attention deficit and Hyperactivity.
Inattentive symptoms include: not paying close attention to tasks, missing small details, rushing through tasks, not seeming to listen when spoken to, difficulty organizing things, not finishing work, dislikes or avoids tasks that take sustained mental effort, losing thins, or being forgetful.
And Hyperactivity symptoms include:
fidgeting, make small movements, especially of the hands and feet, through nervousness or impatience, feeling like an "internal motor" is always going, leaving their seat, climbing on things, being loud, blurting out answers, Say abruptly or inadvertently, utter without thinking. talking excessively or out of turn, having trouble waiting their turn, interrupts, or intrudes on others. These symptoms must be present in multiple settings.
Patients with ADHD show disability not only in attention and focus, but also in decision making and emotional regulation. Children with ADHD can have difficulty with social interactions, can be easily frustrated, and can be impulsive. They are often labeled as "trouble makers."
Symptoms begin at a young age but, they should be older than 6 years old but before age of 12 to make ADHD diagnosis.
These symptoms should have lasted at least six months, and interfere with daily life activities.
ADHD is important, because It can have large consequences, including social interactions, increased risky behaviors, such as drug abuse, or antisocial behavior, loss of jobs, and difficulty achieving in school and University.
ADHD must be considered within the context of what is developmentally and culturally appropriate for a person.
In adults, hyperactivity is usually replaced by inner restlessness, and adults often develop coping skills to compensate for their impairments.
The etiology of ADHD is related to a variety of factors that include both a genetic and an environmental component.
ADHD can be related to decreased dopaminergic functioning, or can be related decreased number of dopaminergic receptors in the frontal lobes of the brain. but there are no confirmed causes.
ADHD affects an estimated 4% to 12% of school-aged children worldwide.
4 to 5% of college aged students and adults have ADHD. It is diagnosed approximately twice as often in boys than in girls.
3 main types can be found: 1. Predominantly inattentive; 2. Predominantly Hyperactive.
And 3. Combination of the above
ADHD treatment includes: involve some combination of medications, counseling, and lifestyle changes.
Psychological therapies used include: psychoeducational input, behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, family therapy, school-based interventions, social skills training, behavioral peer intervention and organization training.
stimulant medications are the most effective pharmaceutical treatment.
Stimulants are amphetamines and methylphenidates.
Both types of stimulants block the reuptake of dopamine at the presynaptic membranes and postsynaptic membranes.
Stimulants are the mainstay of treatment for ADHD. They are effective in about 70% of patients.
Side effects of stimulants include changes in blood pressure, decreasing appetite and sleep, and risk of dependency. However, there is an increased risk of substance use in patients with ADHD, and studies show, treating with a stimulant, decreases their overall lifetime risk of substance abuse.
Of the non-stimulant option, there are also two types: antidepressants and alpha agonists. Within the antidepressant category, atomoxetine is is the best known and works as a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. It is known to be effective in many trials as a treatment option for ADHD, though not nearly as effective as stimulants.

Not all problems with attention are ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). The reason it is important is because you don’t want to take stimulants if problems with attention and focus if these problems are not the result of ADHD.
Here are other problems that can cause you to have trouble focusing and concentrating. Anxiety Depression Insomnia Bipolar disorder Stress and having too much to do
ADHD starts in childhood but can continue into adulthood. Some people may have ADHD as a child, but never take medication until they get older such as young adulthood. But with this person, they still would have had problems in childhood. It’s probably not ADHD if everything went smoothly from childhood until age 30 or 40 when your life is now more stressful. If you take stimulants to perform better, you can push your mind to do more than it can naturally do. This can result in burnout that looks like unmanageable anxiety or depression.

Anxiety disorders can occur along with bipolar disorder and there is some overlap in the way anxiety and mania look that it's not always clear which it is. This is important. This is because early warning signs of depression and mania can help you to intervene before the episode escalates. You can adjust your mood stabilizer if you feel there is a manic episode coming. If it is anxiety, you won't want that.
These symptoms are similar to anxiety and mania.
Racing thoughts
Concentration problems
Mood irritability
Inability to fall asleep
Restlessness and agitation
Anxiety can be described as a feeling of fear, anxiety, or uneasiness. Although it can manifest in physical manifestations, anxiety starts with a feeling. Mania refers to hyperarousal. It is like an internal motor with the dial turned up.
In some ways, anxiety can be compared to mania. Although they have some similarities, anxiety and mania are different. Mania affects your body and makes you feel ill.
