Yes, it is possible that Vyvanse will show up on a drug test. This is because it is broken down in the body and is converted into an amphetamine, which is one of the substances searched for in a standard ten panel drugs screening.
The other substances which are tested for include:
Vyvanse is the brand name of the drug, Lisdexamfetamine - an inactive substance which acts as a "prodrug" to dextroamphetamine.
It prolongs the effects of dextroamphetamine in the body via enzymes in the red blood cells, and has the advantage of being less-addictive than other similar medications.
Typically, Vyvanse is used to help treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adults. It is also useful in alleviating the symptoms of depression, schizophrenia and sleeping disorders.
If you are going to be drug-tested in the near future, then take a doctor's letter and your prescription form to the test - to notify the technician that there could be a false positive.

- Barbiturates.
- Benzodiazepines.
- Cannabinoids (THC).
