From general internet research I have seen it say many times not to combine the two unless your doctor tells you to because it's potentially dangerous. Aside from the fact that your stacking amphetamines is there anything to worry about with this combo? How would 20mg Adderall and 50mg Vyvanse effect someone with little-no tolerance?
 
Just the staking of amphetamines, that's all there is to worry about. Bump your dose down a little, 70 mg amphetamines is a lot for someone w/ no tolerance. I'd choose one or the other.
 
70mg is a bit on the high end for someone with little or no tolerance to amphetamines. The Vyvanse is extended release, and will last for at least six hours, and probably more like 8 to 10. If the Adderall is IR, it will come on quick and strong, and drop out within several hours.

Consider taking just one or the other and see how it effects you. Or perhaps take half of each. Just depends on your tolerance, and what kind of experience you're looking for ie long lasting or short acting.
 
^This is good advice. Start slow, especially if you have practically no tolerance to amphetamines.

Taking one or the other sounds like the way to go about things, IMO.
 
That's 35mg of Dextroamphetamine and 5mg levoamphetamine

Cut it in half

Take the vyvanse OR the adderall

The only risk is amphetamine stacking, by the way

Vyvanse just metabolizes into dextroamphetamine (75% of adderall)
 
Thanks for the replies, although they were a bit late. My heart rate way fine and I felt fine on both, I ended up taking 40mg Adderall XR and 50mg Vyvanse, over the course of 8ish hours. I had some Xanax to calm the paranoia and take the edginess off of everything. I've done this once before and had a burning sensation within my chest the day after, but I think it was unrelated. Most likely heartburn or the lack of benzos that time (I have anxiety).

Everything turned out fine, even after going to a concert that involved lots of physical activity, only problem is it's 6, and I have to get up at 9, and I'm still not tired... Also threw in some 20ish mg of MXE later on into the night/morning, which turned out to have little to no effect on me... Strange...

Anyways, thanks for the replies everyone.
 
it's not potentially dangerous like combining serotonergic drugs with amphetamines. vyvanse and adderall would be like beer and vodka; they are essentially the same drug.

i like to take 20mgs vyvanse for sustained therapeutic value, and 10mg IR addy at the same time for that extra kick...just make sure not to go overboard.

my bad i didn't read your post OP, lol. IMO, vyvanse is easier on the body than addy, and so vyvanse is probably the best choice for you. 20mgs would be perfect, anymore any you will probably be up for 24++ hours...

if you only have 50mgs capsules, twist open the pill and empty half of the powder (roughly 25mgs) into a 4-6oz glass of water.
