Most likely amphetamine, but it could have been dextroamphetamine. Other then those 2, other amphetamines aren't commonly used for medical purposes. As far as I know it's not fact that he received them, but most speculate he did.

Was there a reason J Edgar Hoovers casket was lined in lead?

To protect his body in the event of nuclear war. A more simply reason might be that, perhaps, he was buried in a Belmont casket. The (former) Belmont Casket Company of Columbus, Ohio was famous for its lead coated steel caskets. The lead coating had an anti-corrosion effect, giving the carbon steel properties similar to that of stainless steel. President Lyndon B. Johnson, e.g., was buried in a Belmont lead coated steel casket. Pictures of Hoover's funeral seem to indicate that he might have been buried in one of the double lid Belmont "Masterpiece" caskets, the top of the line model of the company. A solid bronze type of the "Masterpiece" casket (with more ornamental caskets handles than those of J. Edgar's casket) was used for the burial of Marilyn Monroe.

Can adults take Vyvanse for energy?

No, Vyvanse isn't prescribed for any type of weight control treatment. Vyvanse is classified as an amphetamine and amphetamines are useful for weight control treatment (and were used for this until the 1980s). But, amphetamines are also extremely additive and because of this physicians are no longer allowed to prescribe them for weight control treatment.

What opiates may show as amphetamines in testing?

None. I don't believe any type of prescription or illegal opiate would show amphetamines in a drug test, unless street opiates (ie heroin cut with speed possibly) would show amphetamines as speed in an amphetamine, but if it's prescription opiates in pill form there aren't any in production that will make you test positive for both opiates and amphetamines.
