Is there any truth behind these claims? Not really.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some people say that combining magnesium and Vyvanse, avoiding dairy and coffee, taking ginkgo pills, and eating large meals make Vyvanse last longer, there\u2019s no proof that these strategies actually work, according to Dr. Lieberman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are a few things that might influence the drug performance or how you perceive its effects:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Protein:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cIt has the potential to boost the same brain chemicals that Vyvanse is boosting. The protein won\u2019t have an effect on the drug, but it augments the effects of the medication,\u201d says Dr. Lieberman.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Exercise:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cA lot of people with ADHD also have depression at the same time, and both conditions may make it difficult to focus and concentrate. Exercise may help with those symptoms,\u201d says Dr. Lieberman.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Vitamin C:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cOrange juice and other things with vitamin C might have the potential to slow down the body\u2019s ability to convert Vyvanse into active amphetamine. It may make it last longer, but the overall effect will be less\u2014it\u2019s like eating a bag of popcorn more slowly,\u201d says Dr. Lieberman.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He added that drinking a lot of grapefruit juice is a very bad idea. \u201cGrapefruit juice can slow down the rate at which the body gets rid of drugs, which can be dangerous,\u201d he explained. It\u2019s important to note that a lot of patients taking ADHD medication are also taking other psychiatric meds to treat related medical conditions like depression and anxiety. Many of these prescriptions, such as SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), can have a dangerous drug-drug interaction with Vyvanse that\u2019s similar to the interaction with grapefruit juice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/vyvanse-side-effects\/\"><b>Common side effects of Vyvanse<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to increase Vyvanse effectiveness<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you first start taking Vyvanse, you might experience a boost in energy, motivation, and positivity. However, these effects don\u2019t typically last, says Dr. Lieberman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you\u2019re finding the increased energy is wearing off, tough luck\u2014that\u2019s not what the drug\u2019s supposed to do,\u201d Dr. Lieberman says. \u201cVyvanse is supposed to improve focus, concentration, and impulse control. When you focus on those three things, people find it lasts longer than they thought.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than looking for ways to make Vyvanse last longer, here are some tips on having the best experience on the medication, to make Vyvanse work better for you:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Find the right dose:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Vyvanse offers two different forms (Vyvanse capsules and chewable tablets) and seven different capsule strengths, ranging from 10 mg to 70 mg. The typical starting dose is 30 mg, and dosages are increased in 10 mg to 20 mg increments after monitoring response. Work with your doctor to measure the drug\u2019s effect on your focus, concentration and impulse control to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/vyvanse\/dosage\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">find the right Vyvanse dose<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, says Dr. Lieberman.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ask for feedback:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Not sure if your Vyvanse is working? Ask your significant other or coworkers if they see improvements in your focus as you try different strengths. \u201cThird-party feedback will help us decide if a higher dose is doing something,\u201d says Dr. Lieberman.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Break bad habits:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cPeople with ADHD often develop some bad habits, like running late or losing things. Psychiatric drugs make it easier to break those habits, but it will still take work,\u201d Dr. Lieberman says. Try working with a mental health professional to make behavioral changes (like using calendars and removing distractions from your workspace) to complement the effects of the drug for better control over symptoms of ADHD.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/adhd-treatment-and-medications\"><b>ADHD treatment and medications<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re finding that Vyvanse isn\u2019t working well or lasting as long as you\u2019d like, talk to your healthcare provider for medical advice.
