So right now I am in an A&P class. I learned about the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. I am a little bit confused though with Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine). As we all know Vyvanse is a stimulant so it helps release more norepinephrine and dopamine. Both of these hormones are mainly used in the sympathetic system which is in charge of "fight or flight" whereas the parasympathetic system is in charge of "rest and digest". Because of dual innervation the digestive system should be most active when when the parasympathetic system is most active then slow down when the sympathetic system is most active. Now here is my main question.

If Vyvanse activates the sympathetic system why does it make you need to poop? Google says its because gut mobility is increased but shouldn't that be more on the sympathetic system? I do not think it is cooperative dual innervation either since pooping is a voluntary action (most of the time). Can someone explain how this works to me?

Hello, I wanted someone opinion. I might just be super delusional but I am considering the following classes in the title as well as their labs. I am not sure how doable it is but it the job I am aiming for a as a lab assistant which would be great for a resume.

School side: By taking the 8 weeks A&P class online I would be saving about 70 hours of driving throughout the semester (a lot more time to study which I will 100% use). I took A&P 1 and pretty much crammed the night before for 2/3 of the class. Realized I actually liked it when I got to the brain and started to cram everything in the last 6 weeks. I got a 100 on my exams. Thing is, I’m unemployed and I spend an average of 7-8 hours studying every day 6 days a week so I would be knowledgeable to the point that I would feel comfortable teaching it.

Work: I’ll be doing clinical a little over a year from now. I’m broke but I’m lucky enough to live with parents. I’ve been spending $20-40 a month aside from gas and costs for school. When clinical comes around I prob won’t be working for 2ish years so I want to save up and max my Roth IRA. This job would help pay for school and has medical drug insurance (WHICH I NEED) cause I’ll be kicked off my parents health insurance in about a year. I think I can do chemistry. It’s just intro and I took the class in highschool for dual enrollment. It’s been so long though that my credits are invalid and I’m retaking it now. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

I do not really know what position I want in a hospital right now. I plan to stay instate. This license is mainly to help me get my foot in the door while I work on my pre med prerequisites. I am not sure if there is a huge difference or if there is much of a weight difference on a resume.
