Vyvanse is basically the same thing as normal extended release amphetamine except it lasts longer with a gentler up down curve.
So you can abuse it the same way. It just lasts longer.
The continual high you can get on a large dose is the same, just less peaky.

Yeah, amphetamine has so many effects beyond appetite suppression that it’s a pretty blunt instrument for that. GLP1 agonists like Ozempic seem far more promising since they don’t have the ability to crack you out.
