Vyvanse can last very long - up to 14 hours - but may take a little longer in the morning to start working.
DEVELOPER AMPHETAMINE PLUS
Vyvanse is amphetamine plus an extra compound called lysine, which attaches itself to the amphetamine, creating an extra step that the body has to go through to make it active. Like Metadate CD and Ritalin LA, it is a capsule with beads and can be opened and mixed with food. Adderall XR is the longer-lasting form of Adderall and was designed to be effective for 10-12 hours. Some of these compounds take effect as quickly as the short-acting forms of these medications. This is of great benefit when trying to provide a response that lasts through a school day (typically 6-8 hours). Amphetamines tend to be slightly more potent than methylphenidate and last a little longer, but in general the effects are similar to methylphenidate.Īs with methylphenidate, some preparations of amphetamines have been created to release the medication over a greater period of time, extending the duration of the effect of the medication.

However, the patch can often take 1-2 hours to start working.Īdderall, Evekeo, Zenzedi and Dexedrine are all short-acting forms of amphetamines, that take effect about 30-45 minutes after taking them and they are effective for 3-4 hours. You can wear the patch for up to 9 hours and often get another hour’s worth of response after the patch is removed. It’s another option for kids who can’t swallow pills.
Quillichew ER is a chewable long –acting formulation of methylphenidate that can last up to 8 hours. The liquid formulation may also allow more precise dose adjustment or “titration.” Quillivant XR is a long-acting formulation of methylphenidate in liquid form, which makes it a good alternative for kids who have trouble swallowing capsules and can’t tolerate beads, either. They typically work longer than Ritalin LA or Metadate CD. Aptensio XR and Focalin XR are also capsules filled with medication that can be opened and mixed with food. What’s good about these is that for kids who can’t swallow pills, you can open up the capsule and sprinkle it on food (i.e., yogurt, Nutella, applesauce, etc.). These medications are very similar in that they both last about 6-8 hours. 
Ritalin-LA and Metadate CD are capsules that are filled with medication. It has to be swallowed whole in order for it to work the way it was designed. Concerta is one of the longest-acting methylphenidate medications on the market, lasting 8 to 12 hours. 
Other preparations of methylphenidate have been created to release the medication over greater period of time, extending the duration of the effect of the medication. There is also a liquid and a chewable tablet form of the short-acting methylphenidate. For children who have trouble swallowing pills, this medication can be crushed and mixed with foods. Both of these medications begin to work about 30-45 minutes after taking them. Focalin is another form of methylphenidate that also lasts about 4 hours. Ritalin is a short-acting formulation of methylphenidate that lasts about 3-4 hours.
