The rules for Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)
No New Zealand source names lisdexamfetamine specifically, but as a Schedule II psychotropic it falls under the same generic controlled-drug rule: declare on arrival, carry original packaging plus a prescription/doctor's letter, and keep quantity to one month's (30 days') supply.
Maximum supply: 30 days (Not separately named; falls under same generic controlled-drug 30-day supply rule)
