Why do you think it's cocaine?
It's just another amphetamine derivate
Because I’ve been told by my pharmacy tech wife and my doctor that it is. Or close enough, anyway.
EDIT: It turns out my ignorance of chemistry is enough to get me downvoted. In any case, thank you to the kind souls that have educated me on the matter.
...tell them both to visit erowid or wikipedia, and look up cocaine and amphetamine separately. Then, look at vyvanse's wikipedia page. That type of description is part of the reason why it's tough for us ADHD folks to get access to our meds.
Definitely this.
Concerta is diet cocaine, whereas Vyvanse is a miracle (and Lisdex is the devil's apple)
