Adderall Xr Generic R-3061 (Top voted first)

Are these suppose to have the beads inside them or is it powder form? Theyre orange 30mg capsuls with R-3061 on them. Took one and immediately fell asleep?

Bottom line: Please don't buy from CVS anymore. They charged me $100 for this crap Activas. I have taken the double the dose and am sitting here trying to wake up.. My head is somewhere else and I feel like taking a nap! How can the FDA approve this? I'm shocked just shocked that they are taking advantage of people like this - people who's lives have seen such a big difference after taking the proper Adderall formulations. Shame on you CVS Pharmacy. Just shame.

SCREW CVS !! (ESPECIALLY THEIR PHARMACY DEPARTMENT SUPPLIERS) !!! I am never buying anything from them again. Due to lack of proper insurance I need to pay out of pocket for my meds and I just lost at least a $100 Hundred Bucks over this s***ty Actavis white powder crap. Have taken double the dose and all I want to do is take a nap!!

Seriously FDA please PLEASE get this horrific substance off the market -- some people actually have mental deficiencies and this disservice is doing them complete injustice by playing with their lives unsympathetically. I am screwed now for the next month when I will be able to get another fill and will definitely be going to a different Pharmacy. Never again.

No one is imagining or making up stories as far as different genetic brands DEFINITELY ARE DIFFERENT!!! I have tried pretty much all of them and so have my friends.
The best generic adderalls are made by pharmaceutical company by the name TEVA. They are the oval orange ones... These are the closest to brand name... This is a fact! I conducted a survey .... And abt 200 people who've been on addrerall for years .... All had same opinion!! Walgreens carries these.

Hi Anon -- the strangest thing I have experienced is that I have gotten these before and they had 100% small white beads inside. That time, they worked great, almost as well as the normal ones. HOWEVER, this time, I got these same ones again (the all orange capsule with R 3061 on the outside) and they were filled with a mixture of white powder, beads, and what looked like mini clear crystals. They do NOT work. I can easily fall right asleep on them. This is not cool. At all!!

What have you done since April? It's July and my CVS now has only Actavis generic for Adderall XR and they don't work. My old "generic" Adderall XR made by Teva has half orange beads and half white beads and I never had a problem with efficacy. The Actavis one has only white beads. My pharmacist said that Actavis is the only supplier she is allowed to access. She suggested shopping different pharmacies.

They have beads - the crappy ones I had had all white beads and about half as much as the Teva. My guess is probably because they fail to put the active ingredient in them. I wrote the company and told them my experience about having the negative drug panel after taking triple my dose for 4 days and have been ignored. Shame, shame. This is immoral, unethical, and I would suspect illegal. I am going to keep hounding the FDA about this one.

Well if you took one you will know, I mean if it's a solid pill, mine are round there's no beads in that, the beads come in the captules and you can see them, so if you did not see them you are on IR which is much much better. Just in my opinion all XR's are awful, it's a baby sitter, it was the worst thing ever, the IR's are quality and will do wonders for your ailment, I'm only speaking to people who are prescribed this, I'm sorry I'm not ever speaking to people who do pills on the sneak, the only thing that is acceptable with that is the Mary Jane, the beautiful bud, I'm with you in that struggle for legalization.

They should be orange and white beads. The bogus ones I got only had the white beads, which are just fillers - no amphetamines were in mine so I fell asleep as well. Every other brand I have had has the orange and white beads.

Re: Hetty (# 4)

I also take the Teva brand 30mg tablets and it's noted in the computer at my pharmacy that I request Teva Orange Oval (football shaped) tablets. I take one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I have been taking Adderall for well over 20 years and I've never gotten anything but positive effects from this medication. I do have some advise to share for someone who may not be adjusting to it very well (I've learned alot about Adderall over the years)

1. You have to respect this medication. If you take more of the dose than you are prescribed...say you are working an extra shift and you think you need an extra pill to get you through, you will cause yourself to overthink the process, your brain will have all kinds of focus but your body won't be able to physically supply the energy your body needs ....will do you no good to "add a pill". I am a nurse and I'm offering this kind of advise to "newbies" who will appreciate the heads up.

2. Adderall has a job to do for us who are "scattered" as I call myself without medication....it helps you take all the scattered pieces and put them in order and focus. Adderall doesn't need any help from any kind of (uppers) because it takes my unfocused, slow, scattered body/brain and puts it in order/gear. That's all it knows to do. If you drink caffiene or 5 hour energy to get more energy, Adderall is going to overpower it. Adderall will jump all over this fast moving substance and try to slow it down so it can force "focus" on you. End result you will feel like crap!

3. I do have a hard time sleeping and for that I take a sleeping pill if I need it. Overall my brand and dose works as good as it did the first day. Other brands of Adderall (round sort of flat bitter tablets) have been prescribed and they do not work for me at all. They give me a sudden headache, a rush of negative energy that makes me jittery. I firmly believe if Adderall was put in the water this world would get alot more work done! Task completed, correctly....One last note: sorry so long...but whatever you do when you take your medicine is what you can plan to be doing for hours. If you are playing a video game when you take it...you will be doing that all day. A lot of its effects depend on you. I've even taken it in the morning and immediately laid back down, I slept for hours!

It has beads dude. They fly everywhere. My orange capsules have a generic r then it says 3061 after the r. (30mg). I tried to find somewhere to put a pic up but ya if I open them I now use a plate because they roll everywhere. But when I got these meds in the states, the beads were orange, here; I moved across borders into a different country. Anyway these beads are pure white. No orange beads. But I have a lot of difficulty with being in public and walking my dog. It takes an hr to get out of the house cause my nervous stomach even tho I’m on xanax 1mg and diazepam 10mg.. I feel like the ppl that dispense my medication make fun of me cause of what I need to be on. One example is my slipped disc. I’m only allowed to take muscle relaxers because.. Mm whatever... I had to stop taking pain medication. And lyrica for an accident I was in. I have dead nerve cells all the way up and down my leg on one side. Causes immense pain and addy for my problems focusing (adhd) also ambien for my insomnia. Um ya so it’s a list and (I’m kinda just over 26yrs old) and f*** and sometimes my family makes remarks that I somehow like to take my meds. And there is a little truth to that cause it almost makes me feel like a person without all my problems.

Re: j (# 26)

My bad. F***, I couldn’t remember the beginning of the sentence. Sorry. I used to be on 30xr for daytime and then I had hockey practice and studying that same night so I was also on 30mg instant. That worked for me so well, and then I moved across the country and cross the border and that was the one medication that they took me off of. They took away my adderall ir which are kind of depended on (at night) when u have tweaked ur meds for yrs to get it right. And now I only have one 30mg extended release to last throughout the day. It’s hard. But like I said in one of my posts I’m on a few different meds and its kept me clean for years... Idk why a dr would want to look at it, see that I’m doing better but then decide he wants to put his own flavor on it by taking away my adderall 30 ir. I cant even study at night and I have brain farts while I’m practicing with my team... In college hockey u get benched for making mistakes... So ya take a wild guess on where I was sitting a couple of the games. Embarrassing. Sorry I’m not gonna keep typing lol. My brain got focused on one thing for a bit. Oh addys. I don’t want to be on meds but if it keeps me clean (like it’s been doing) then they shouldn’t change anymore s***. Oh and I’m complaining, so probably getting judged by the 1% ***k community but I felt like sharing my story. So f*** it. That all above is me. I don’t make fake stories for attention. Not saying anyone did that but I feel like just raw. Everything someone says that’s an insult nowadays hurts my feelings so bad. Lol it’s f***ing baffling. I don’t know how else to explain it.

Re: Keith (# 18)

Sometimes I open my capsules to see if they are filled up in a correct manner (consistency) as well as color and shape if I can’t see through the pill itself (stating the obvious here like right now I have an all orange pill instead of a half clear half orange…)
Should I get off my Adderall then as well since I am making sure I am not being screwed over or I am trying to figure out why I feel different in a way???
The fact that that’s what you immediately thought, and assumed of that person, kind of says some thing in my opinion honestly rather than supporting since you are under this topic, forum, whatever you wanna call it as well.. much love!

There doesn't appear to be any photos of this pill online, however, I did come across posts from others stating that this particular capsule imprinted with "R 3061" does in fact have beads.

I do find it odd how it put you sleep, considering that one of the side effects of this drug is insomnia. Did you take anything else with it?

I really don't have any information for you on this, there is not listing of the capsules denoting how they are put together, I'm sorry.

Learn more Adderall details here.

Are these a different generic than what you had been taking?

I had the same problem as you, those blue pills did not do anything for me. After that I went to Walgreens they have the orange made by Barr and they are better. I have always been given the brand name until this last February.
My son's doctor told me that there have been a lot of complaints about the generic and how it didn't work the same. She wrote the brand for my son. I am going to talk to my doctor and see if he will do the same. I mentioned it to him before but he is convinced the generic is the same.

File a complaint with FDA on this medication, the more people complaint about it the better. I did and told my doctor, he wrote me a script for BRAND with medically necessary for brand.

Actavis is HORRIBLE. No effect whatsoever even after tripling my dose. I gave myself a U/A after 4 days of this and it was NEGATIVE for amphetamines. I knew something was wrong when I took it and wanted to go back to bed, but the drug panel just confirmed that they are peddling sugar pills and labeling them generic Adderall XR 30mg. I reported this to the FDA Medwatch system and would encourage anyone else to do so that has had this issue and also save your unused meds, as I did, in case the FDA wants to analyze them. Teva is the only other brand I have used and it works great :)

Marie, I do agree with you, the R3061 are complete garbage. I have been Rx Adderall for almost 5 years, I take 30mg a day of the generic. Recently when I received the R3061 I had the same exact problems as everyone else on here is complaining of. I am so glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this. WHATEVER the problem is we ALL MUST report it to the FDA and tell the pharmacies you will NOT fill ANY of your medications there until it is resolved. Get in their pocket, perhaps things will change. As long as they are continuing to make money nothing will change. However Marie, I would like to tell you that the home U/A's you can buy from pharmacies DO NOT REGISTER ADDERALL UNDER THE AMPHETAMINES PANEL. The diagnostic for amphetamine salts is very specific, and very rarely found. The panel labeled amphetamines evaluations for methamphetamine. Even DOT, probation offices, and even drug rehab clinics that check clients do not typically look for the kind of amphetamines adderall is made of. If they do it will be an additional evaluation. I know this for absolute certainty, as I have also been on Suboxone for the past two years, get drug panels every single week (with the 7 panel- it has one for Opiates which covers illicit drugs, vicodin, etc, and another for oxycodone and a separate for buprenorphine as well), and was scared I would drop dirty for amphetamines due to the addy, but my counselor said nope, its a separate evaluation, and I have seen the results for myself a thousand times. My point is that while the R3061 suck ass, when you check yourself for amphetamines and the result is negative that was actually because of what I said above- it wouldn't come up anyway.
