vyvanse + baking soda / antacid (tums)

[zrawdog]

i know taking baking soda or tums (or any type of antacid) makes oral adderall absorb better, therefore causing enhanced effects. but does anyone know if this would be the case with vyvanse too, since it's absorbed differently? i've been taking magnesium before and with vyvanse lately in order to raise the ph of my stomach, but i don't take it often enough to be able to tell if it's making a difference. thanks!

Yes it will help, as it states in the pamphlet I received upon getting my prescription to avoid taking on an acidic stomach as it will consume the amphetamine. What else you have in your stomach doesn't matter as much here, as to say, Adderall, since Vyvanse it a pro-drug and must have it's bonds broken off by passing through the liver. You just don't want anything to get dissolved and ruined before this happens and the dextroamphamine in it becomes active. Hope this helps.

vyvanse has to go through first pass metabolism in order for the lysine molecule to be cleaved. after the liver cleaves this molecule from the d-amp, the resulting dextroamphetamine is absorbed in the first intestine. because vyvanse is not absorbed in the stomach like plain old amphetamine, baking soda and other anti-acids do not affect the BA of vyvanse. taking baking soda before vyvanse isn't going to do much, and personally i find baking soda tastes horrid. yuck...

What you said, isn't really entirely true, as Vyvanse gets eaten alive in a stomach full of Vitamin C and acidity. Yes, it has to go through the liver and lose it's lysine, and food doesn't affect it hardly at all, since it doesn't activate in your stomach. Avoid Vitamin C, try Alka seltzer or/and a tums or 2 10-15 mins prior to dosing. A glass of Orange juice to throw it down? Well good luck feeling anything, other than satisfaction because OJ is fantastic.
