Is Vyvanse the same as lisdexamfetamine dimesylate?

Yes. Vyvanse is the brand name for lisdexamfetamine dimesylate, a prescription stimulant used for ADHD and, in some countries/age groups, binge eating disorder. [1]

What does “lisdexamfetamine dimesylate” mean?

Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate is the drug’s full chemical name. After you take it, your body converts it into the active ingredient, dextroamphetamine, which is what produces the stimulant effects. [1]

What should I look for on the label?

If a product label says lisdexamfetamine dimesylate, it is referring to Vyvanse (or a generic with the same active ingredient). If it lists a different active ingredient, it is not Vyvanse even if it’s also a stimulant. [1]

Is there any difference between brand and “lisdexamfetamine dimesylate”?

A brand-name product and a generic product with the same active ingredient (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) are intended to have the same pharmacologic effect, though inactive ingredients and appearance can differ. The key point for identification is the active ingredient name. [1]
