Adderall Xr 20 Mg Generic Equivalents
UpdatedWhich companies manufacture "Generic equivalents" of ADDERALL XR 20mg capsules? I looked on CVS website. They list Name Brand and 4 Generics: Name Brand on Their site: Adderall XR 20mg Cap, Shire US Inc, NDC: 540920387, Pill ID: ADDERALL XR 20mg, capsule, orange. The picture has ©2005GS. Barr Laboratories Inc a Division of Teva USA, NDC 005550788, picture ©2009GS. American Health Packaging, NDC 680840832, Picture? not sure about American Heath but Both of those are listed as Amphetamine Salts 20mg ER Cap/ with Pill ID: M. Amphet Salts 20mg/orange capsules. Then Global Pharmaceuticals, NDC 001151331, Amphetamine Salts 20mg ER Cap, Pill ID: M. Amphetamine Salts 20mg, capsule, orange, picture ©2009GS. The last 3 all have the very same Active and Inactive Ingredients listed and they are listed in the same order as the Name Brand; so would the list of Meds above be Generics Equivalents of the Name Brand?
Finally, Actavis Inc., Elizabeth LLC, NDC 002283060, Amphetamine Salts 20mg ER Cap, Pill ID: Logo-3060 Logo-3060, capsule, blue, on picture is ©2013GS, Actavis lists the same Active Ingredients but ADDED many extra Inactive Ingredients than the Brand Name listed above: "Hydroxypropyl Cellulose, Propylene Glycol, FD & C Blue No. 1, FD & C Blue No. 2, FD & C Red No. 40, Corn Starch, and D & C Yellow No. 10" AND Actavis left out "Hypromellose" that IS on the Brand Name list of Inactive Ingredients. I was taking the Name Brand until last month my Insurance required pre-approval from my doc; Now Name Brand costs: $2,310.83 for a 90 day script/for 3/20mg Adderall XR Capsules per day. My Out of Pocket Cost for Name Brand would be $1,604.09 and for Generic, a 90 day script costs $1,906.45 AND MYOut of Pocket cost is $947.49. The Pharmacy gave me the Actavis and I have felt intermittent nausea, lack of focus, frustrated from disorganization, embarrassed because I cannot concentrate unless I am Hyper focus mode like RIGHT NOW; I have not been able to follow conversations with friends (so I try my best to stay home). I would say It is a bit better than nothing...Not much. For this I pay so much money.
The name brand is no miracle drug but I could function well enough to enjoy life. I have not been able to work for the last 20+ years because I slow other people down. I have average IQ. My husband makes enough to pay for generic but we may have to live in a tent when he retires if he can still stand to be around me. I feel so guilty that I should need this medication. Except for the cost I would happily take the generic if I can find one that works. Lucky for me I only purchased a 30 day Actavis script which I will run out of this week. I will try another Manufacturer and get another 30 day script which I will pay Out of Pocket $370.10. Plus the cost of my $125 for my Psychiatrist until I figure this out and we can go back to our 3 month appointment schedule. Is there hope that one of the Generics CVS carries is the equivalent of Brand name? What is the difference between a "generic equivalent", a "generic alternative", and/or a drug that says on the bottle this drug is substituted for the Brand Name. The script I am finishing now from Actavis says AMHETAMINE SALTS ER 20MG CAP. Under is written: Common brand(s): Adderall XR? Please HELP? I might cost too much for My GETTING POORER EVERYDAY HUSBAND, but at least I could be productive and pleasant. Thank you in Advance for any advice you might share with me.
