Adderall Generics Thread (Page 6)

Hey guys. Most of us are probably in the same boat--our Adderall doesn't work and it's horrible and we can't function well and it's bull**** and we all know that, but there are other threads/forums to vent frustration. We need a thread with the basics to help us all get going again or to know what to avoid (even though that seems like all of them these days, ha.) PLEASE POST THE FOLLOWING: 1. MANUFACTURER OF YOUR RECENT ADDERALL PRESCRIPTION 2. XR OR IR? HOW MANY MG? COLOR/SHAPE/IMPRINT? (if possible) 3. ***PHARMACY NAME*** AND MONTH/YEAR OF SCRIPT 4. YOUR LOCATION (if you are comfortable with that) 5. SIDE EFFECTS/SYMPTOMS. GOOD? BAD? Generally speaking, chain pharmacies use the same manufacturer at all of their locations throughout the country and that will make it easier for us to either get a hold of that specific manufacturer's Adderall, OR to avoid it if it's a bad batch. Replies to other posts are allowed, but please try to stay on topic so that the thousands of people viewing this thread can easily keep track when they are going in for their monthly prescription. Thanks so much!

It's the same script. Oddly there are multiple names for generic Adderall... which is ridiculous and confusing. "The generic name for Adderall is dextroamphetamine-amphetamine. It’s also sometimes referred to as amphetamine salts" (per verywell health)

Re: Rcma (# 101)

Thank you. I figured with different manufacturers that the pill could change color and shape. This helps. Thank you.

When you say Sun are you referring to Sunrise?

Re: Jaime (# 102)

Remember that different colors and different shapes indicate different ingredients. Don’t be fooled that they are all the same. An oval will never be a circle.

Re: HCStymie (# 99)

Aurobindo is the absolute worst. I’m almost sure it has almost no active ingredient and is all chalk. I will make 20+ calls to pharmacies until I can find Teva, which seems like it’s not as good as it used to be but still better than any other generics I’ve tried (which is most off them). ‘Bindos should be banned imo

In Los Angeles and can’t find Teva 30mg IR anywhere. I’m stuck with Sandoz 30mg XR at Walgreens. It’s doing absolutely nothing for me. Have taken this medication for over 20 years and have never experienced anything as bad as this Sandoz. No pharmacy around here even carries IR. Teva is by far the best.

I've been taking/prescribed generic IR Adderall for over 10 years. Ingested alot of different manufacturers at all different doses. (Costco Pharmacy) Whether it's Barr/Teva, Sandoz, Elite, Core, etc etc, they are all alittle different. Same drug in each tablet, but what's different are the binding agents used by manufacturers to help you absorb it. Only one I've ever had an issue with was Core.
It was like hippie speed. Jittery,
Anxious, not at all focused.
My doc told me to never fill with "the pinks" . Core tablets have a distinct darker color.

Re: Patti B (# 87)

ADHD patient my whole life basically. Gonna keep this short. All generic brands have definitely CHANGED but by far and I mean should be illegal is Rhodes. And not just their Adderall, EVERYTHING! They're a Chinese manufacturer if that tells you anything. Taking Global now and it's better than nothing. I can read, play chess, etc. not with Rhodes!!!

Re: Geo (# 76)

Dead on! ADHD patient for my whole life. Tried them all (manufacturers). Doesn't matter XR or IR. They've all dropped in treating symptoms but RHODES should be stripped from all shelves. How it is even allowed is beyond me. And trust me the pharmacies are MORE than well aware of we are. Rhodes is a CHINESE manufacturer. All Rhodes medications are the lowest quality permitted. Their oxycodone is going through many legal suits. Global isn't what it used to be but I can read and play chess so.... Taking 20 mg. XR twice daily. Mallinckrodt is 2nd for garbage meds.
