What is the generic form of Vyvanse?

Vyvanse is the brand name for lisdexamfetamine. The generic (pharmaceutical) equivalent is lisdexamfetamine (often listed by the generic name as “lisdexamfetamine dimesylate” on prescriptions and pharmacy labels) [1].

Is the generic the same active ingredient?

Yes. Generic Vyvanse products use the same active ingredient as the brand, lisdexamfetamine, though the brand and generic may have different inactive ingredients and packaging. The key “generic form” match is the active drug: lisdexamfetamine [1].

Why do some people still talk about “Vyvanse vs generic”?

Even with the same active ingredient, patients and prescribers can notice differences in how tablets/capsules look, how a dose is expressed, and how individual bodies respond to specific formulations. Still, the generic form remains lisdexamfetamine [1].
