Brief Answer:
here is the dosing equivalence

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

25mg of Vyvanse are equivalent (in potency) with 5mg of Adderall (or 10mg of Adderall XR) and 10mg of Ritalin. This means that if you had to use 30mg of Vyvanse then you're going to need about 12mg of Adderall XR or 12mg of Ritalin.

I hope you find this information helpful!

Kind Regards!
