    I’m happy the other person hasn’t had issues, but my dentist called me to let me know they couldn’t put me under because of my prescription… which is Adderall and Vyvanse.

    May have just been the Adderall, maybe it was both, but I don’t like going under anyway and was going to use local anesthesia, regardless.

        They are related drugs with similar profiles, but they are not the same drug. Vyvanse is Lisdexamfetamine, which is a pro-drug, that your body converts into dextroamphetamine. This can have a big impact on some people, either making the drugs more or less tolerable. Actual metabolic rates for drugs can be significantly different from person to person.
