In brief…

Dexamfetamine (Amfexa) is the immediate-release form of the active amphetamine in Elvanse. It lasts 4-6 hours and needs to be taken 2-3 times daily. It’s used when lisdexamfetamine’s 12-14 hour duration is too long (interfering with sleep or appetite), when flexible timing is needed, or as a top-up alongside lisdexamfetamine for early-morning or late-evening coverage.

Your monthly review before the next prescription: how you are getting on, any change of dose, and your medication. Only for patients we have already assessed or taken over.

Diagnosed elsewhere · £120

Already diagnosed and settled on treatment somewhere else. We confirm your diagnosis and your current dose, then continue your care, rather than assessing you all over again.
