Does vyvanse make you feel high?

If you’re someone who’s ever struggled with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), there’s a chance that your doctor has prescribed you Vyvanse at some point. It’s an amphetamine medication used by many to help them focus and increase their productivity throughout the day – but does it make you feel ‘high’? In this article, we’ll go over what people mean when they say they feel ‘high’, how Vyvanse works, and whether or not it will send you soaring.

What does feeling “high” really mean?

We all know what feeling “high” means in terms of being under the influence of drugs like marijuana or cocaine. However, when it comes to prescription medications like Vyvanse, things can get a little more complicated. So let me give it to ya straight: taking what a doctor prescribes you isn’t going to necessarily have the same effects as throwing back three shots of tequila at happy hour (not recommended). That being said- just because I don’t call my coffee fix every morning getting high doesn’t mean other folks wont categorize their experience differently! Different substances produce different experiences and so too do individual responses differ.

Feeling “high,” beyond intoxication/inebriation meaning here simply refers to an intense rush of euphoria/residual happinesses feelings that may come with drug use. It is important however that we note that experiencing such sensations depends largely on personal body chemistry and tolerance levels; these vary from person-to-person as well as by dosage/response for each unique individual.

In short; Feeling High succinctly captures sensory perception changes resulting from substance use which although psychoactive aren’t necessarily n marked departure from one’s everyday senses but rather heightened versions thereof.

Now lets dive into how all this relates specifically regarding Vyvanse

How does Vyvanse work?

Vyvanse, like other drugs used to treat ADHD (e.g. Ritalin or Adderall), operates by increasing the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. These two chemicals are what many scientists believe play a role in our ability to focus on tasks – this is why people with ADHD are often prescribed medications that target these neurotransmitters.

A sustained-release medication; Vyvanse’s main active ingredient, lisdexamfetamine-dimesylate works primarily by stimulating neurotransmitter release via downstream effects including moderated synaptic communication between various receptors which facilitate surplus processing demands within prefrontal cortical areas of the brain especially vis a vis attention related field alongside others

So… does Vyvanse make you feel high?

Now we get down to brass tacks- Does it really?

Well, here’s some good news: most users report feeling relatively normal when taking their prescribed dosage of Vyvanse! Hypothetically you could walk around no holds barred at your desk Job without anyone suspecting that anything was out of place…. Of course I don’t promote irresponsibly walking about drunk on prescription drug-zombies strolling all over your school halls but most people do not experience intense feelings or otherwise unreasonable altercations from taking their doses as directed by healthcare practitioners.

That being said however — there are additional confounding variables that may depend uniquely on individual patients. Because everyone responds differently based on how their bodies metabolize substances plus secondary environmental contributors (eg caffeine intake/blood sugar jitters) certain situations/ unavoidable transpiring can lead for one reason or another to sensations somewhat reminiscent of intoxication despite having taken an approved pharmaceutical product under legitimate medical direction.

Here’s where table might help summarize increased likelyhoods:

Potential Side Effects Explanation
Insomnia Difficulty sleeping while medicated may occur due shortened time-to-first sleep phase or other side effects like belly jitters, palpitations et cetera
Anxiety Agitation and unease could be attributed to overstimulation ie it may take some time for your body/brain to adjust relevantly due abrupt changes that disurb homeostasis too much too fast.
Dry mouth An uncomfortable cotton filled feeling in the mouth might occur as a result of Vyvanse reducing salivary gland activity

Aside from these potential body responses, long-term usage at high doses can alter brain chemistry leading to impaired dopaminergic signaling amongst other findings – this more heavy duty usage typically isn’t prescribed by doctors because of its dangers both medically and mentally.

Conclusion

So there you have it- while there’s no real definitive “yes” or “no” answer when it comes to whether or not Vyvanse makes you feel high in the same way substance abuse does- most people who take moderate dosages throughout their day report nothing out of ordinary sensations suggestive such; However as we covered above all meds come with potential side-effects which ought always taken account for –if any unusual occurrences transpire after taking what even is considered an ‘innocuous’ drug let’s say– it’d be best see a doctor for health safety regardless then perhaps we will learn more about how different individuals metabolize medications eventually lead practices that better accommodate everyone!

One last thing before I go: don’t forget hydration folks! Taking stimulants without making sure your bodily fluids are topped off can cause some nasty complications… stay vigilant out there!
