!!! DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. I AM NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL. EVERYTHING YOU DO IS AT YOUR OWN RISK, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND CONSULT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL BEFORE GOING AHEAD WITH ANYTHING! THIS IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY !!!
Hello everyone. I would like to present my experience with Vyvanse/Elvanse (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate). This is (in my opinion) the best study drug for long sessions and on an exam day.
I have never found studying easy, as a slave to technology and getting distracted very easily when trying, unless extremely motivated (The rush from the hour before an exam etc). This drug will help mimic those effects of motivation and focus.
It is important to note that is a schedule II controlled drug, so it is a lot harder to get than most other drugs.
Read this whole guide before you go ahead with any of this, and remember I am not a medical professional so everything you do I do not take responsibility for.
What is it?
Vyvanse (As named in the US and Canada)/Elvanse (as named in the UK and EU) is a CNS (Central nervous system) stimulant prescribed to ADHD patients which helps increase attention and reduce hyperactivity and impulsiveness in both adults and children.
It is in the amphetamine class which means it speeds up brain activity, but is a prodrug so only releases this after it has been digested in the stomach, unlike other drugs like adderall which directly supply your body with amphetamines. This allows Vyvanse to give your body a smoother onset, longer release and better symptom control. This also prevents extreme crashes when the medication eventually wears off.
Why is it good?
Although it helps people with ADHD manage their symptoms, the effects it gives to counteract these symptoms are exactly what we can use to do the following:
- Not get bored for 8+ hours
- Not feel the impulsive urge to do things like check our phones, open TikTok etc.
- Feel extremely motivated to study
- Have fun while studying
In short it makes you extremely locked in and enjoy studying.
How can I get it?
As mentioned previously, this is controlled drug, meaning that the government oversees where every box and pill goes. This means it cannot be purchased easily.
The easiest way to get ahold of this drug is by finding someone (a family member, friend, colleague or someone at your school) who is diagnosed with ADHD and takes it as an everyday drug. ADHD is very common so it is not particularly hard to find someone who takes it, but it may take some asking around to find someone who both takes it and is willing to sell it to you.
It is almost impossible in my experience to find a trusted online source (especially on the clearnet), so don't even bother as even if you do find one it will probably not be real.
- Once you have found someone who takes it, ask them if you can buy it off them, then argue a price. In the UK, if this person has an NHS prescription, a good price is around £15-20 (~$20) for a box (Typically containing 28 capsules), as the person will want to make a bit of money off selling it to you (unless they are super nice in which you can get it for even cheaper) However most people will not sell you the whole box as they (obviously) still need to take it.
A standard 20mg Elvanse pill in the UK. These can vary in size and colour depending on the country/brand/dosage.
Common misconceptions
- These effects are not magic. This is not NZT. You will not suddenly remember everything you have ever learned, nor feel a shift in energy at all, these effects will feel like normal until you are in the middle of studying and realise you have been focused for way longer than usual.
- This drug will not work for everyone, some people will need to try alternatives such as Ritalin (methylphenidate hydrochloride, sometimes under the brand name Medikinet, Equasym and Concerta) to achieve desired effects.
- The effects are more commonly seen in families that already have ADHD, as it is highly hereditary. For example, if you have a sibling diagnosed with ADHD you are very likely to see effects from this medication.
In my case no one in my family is diagnosed with ADHD however my older brother has previously tried Ritalin and seen extremely strong and positive effects from the use of it.
- "Well if Ritalin is so good, why not just use that?" Good question. Ritalin is also very effective and preferred for some people because it is fast acting and short lasting, meaning it is better for later in the day study sessions of around 3-5 hours. This means it has to be dosed more frequently if you are attempting longer sessions and also has stronger highs and crashes, giving it more risk of addiction. Ritalin is also prescribed more frequently than Vyvanse, which can make it a bit easier to get. It really depends on the person but I recommend you try both Vyvanse and Ritalin in low doses to see which one works better for you.
How do I use it?
Once you have got your hands on it, find out a dosage. I recommend for most people to start on 20mg, then experiment with dosages from there. (Your tolerance depends on age, weight, sex etc.)
You HAVE to take it first thing in the morning, as it takes an extremely long time to wear off, and can cause issues like insomnia if taken too late in the day.
It is also important that you have had at least a full 7-9 hours of sleep the night before, or issues can arise in your heart and brain.
Once you have taken it in the morning, eat breakfast and get on with your day you usually would.
The effects tend to kick in at around 1-2 hours after taking it, but personally I notice them on the later end after around 2 and a half hours, so be prepared for that.
I also recommend drinking caffeine to aid the effects, however be careful with this especially on higher doses because it can cause unwanted problems. Usually 1 cup of black coffee and 20mg is enough for me to work at an extremely efficient level. On your first use, only drink caffeine after at least 3 hours of taking it if you have not seen any negative side effects (Increased heart rate, higher body temperature, etc. Research side effects before taking.)
Precautions to take (Mitigate and prevent any negative effects)
- I strongly recommend you wear a heart rate tracker, ESPECIALLY ON THE FIRST USE. They are very cheap and will help you tell how your body responds to the drug. I wear a Fitbit air to track my sleep and heart rate while on it, and it will send me a notification if my heart rate succeeds <120bpm. In the case of this, take a break immediately, drink a lot of water (You should be doing this anyway) and relax as much as possible, such as going outside to get fresh air. When your heart rate has decreased back to a normal level you can continue what you were doing previously. This does not happen often, and has not happened to me at all, as your heart rate should stay within a normal range +10bpm. (about 60-110bpm for most healthy people) So do not worry particularly about this issue, just keep it in mind while you use it.
- Obviously research side effects for yourself, as you are different from me so try to find out what you can expect.
- Make sure you remember to eat and drink water as usual. A common side effect is the feeling of hunger being inhibited, so you will need to take short breaks to eat.
- Note that other drugs you are taking may affect your experience, and obviously do not take it if you have a heart condition.
Final notes and summary
- My experience with this drug is 10/10. I love it, it has helped me achieve higher grades than I ever would have normally and has only positively impacted my life.
- The first time you try it will be the most effective, as continuous use can lead to you experiencing less strong effects. For this reason I only recommend using it once a week, as you will see similar effectiveness across every session.
- The effectiveness varies from person to person, and as mentioned previously some people will not feel anything at all.
- Sometimes I will randomly feel a rush of demotivation, and feel like I do not want to continue. This only lasts for around 20-30 seconds before going back to normal if I ignore it and keep going even while feeling this way.
- Tell someone trusted before you do this so they are aware of the risks and will be available to help you if needed.
If you have any questions please let me know and I will try to answer them as best as possible.
Once again, this is not medical advice at all, and anything said is only for educational purposes only.
Thank you for reading.

On a weekend:
9:00 - Wake up, after 7-9 hours of sleep. Take 20mg Vyvanse and eat breakfast as normal.
11:30 - make a cup of black coffee and start studying, with the most boring subject/content first. By this point I usually am feeling more focused and motivated to learn.
12:30 - Flow state, enjoying learning things I would usually find boring. At this point I will not want to do anything except study, and am in a very positive mood with no tiredness at all. Learning feels effortless.
17:30 - Non stop studying until now, have been fully focused the whole time and not felt any urges to check my phone or do anything else. If i am on the same subject I might start to find it taking more effort to do, but is still easy nonetheless. I usually will not have eaten anything since breakfast.
18:00 - This is where I start to find the effects taper slowly, so I switch off of a boring subject and move to something I find more interesting. This allows me to continue for longer. By doing the most boring and tedious tasks first when the drug is most potent, it allows me to do easier tasks later on when the drug is wearing off.
19:00 - Continuing with the more interesting subjects which are still easy and fun to do.
19:45 - This is where I notice the effects really start to decrease, as I feel noticeably more hungry and have more impulsiveness to check my phone etc.
20:00 - By 8pm I will usually be fully back to normal, and will take this time to Eat and stop studying. On a good day I can get around 8-10 hours of fully focused studying completed.
Heart rate data for a day like this:
This is one of the only days I took a screenshot, simply because the average was so much higher than usual.
