Adderall Manufactured By Teva Not Working (Page 11)

I have had two refills of Adderall 20 mg that was manufactured by Teva/barr (Teva) and it seems to have much less medication in each pill. Refills by another manufacturer work. This is ridiculous, and where do we report Teva and who can check each pill for amount for medication? I would gladly donate some of my worthless ones to the FDA?

REPORT

ditto. Pharmacist filled partial with sandoze adderall n the balance with teva. Teva is the worst! I let Pharmacy know a few months ago when sandoze adderall orange tablets were on back order tht it wasnt working 4 me, yet they filled it with teva oval 30 mg peach tablets and keep telling me when it comes off back order they will fill script with sandoze...meanwhile am wondering why sandoze brand is on back order again within 3 months?

Here's the thing. I'm a nurse, ive researched everything up to date about generic amphetamine salt combo as i have been taking this medication for over 17 years. I have been the ringer of generics and honestly the FDA does a horrible horrible job on maintaining their regulations to oversee or fail to understand drug compounds and how inactive ingredients and binders vary from manufacture to manufacture and the reason some generics work better or worse depends on the patient because yes, the drug must have the same route, dose, bioequivalence, clinical equivalence, In order for the FDA to approve a generic drug. The 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for generic drug levels must be between 80%-125% for AUC (area under the time-concentration curve) and Cmax (peak plasma concentration) of the reference (branded) drug. This does NOT mean that concentrations of the branded and generic drug differ by 20% as i have seen many post that number so please research before you post bull s*** that people believe because well why wouldnt they when you pretend to sound like an expert. If drug concentrations differ by about 10%, the CIs will fall outside of range and will not be able to go on until it falls under 10 percent. with all the excipients of a generic color coat, fillers, binders aka inactive differ and some patients have an intolerance or allergy to one of the excipients in a generic, therefore counter act and the drug will not work well FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU HAVE A LACTOSE INTOLERANCE GUESS WHAT ONE OF THE INACTIVE BINDERS IS? LACTOSE!! the fact that this is not considered a significant factor to inform patients about is unacceptable and out of date with modern day regulation and FDA needs to do their job so that every generic is the same or has this info provided to patients and give them an alternative generic to choose from.. im sick of constantly being anxious to go to my pharmacy and without warning decide to start buying from different manufacture and act like this shouldnt matter. CVS has changed it four times since i have started taking it. thats why my doc has to specify the manufacture on my prescription and by law the pharm has to order from that manufacturer but it take days to get it. screwing me over. and when a pharmacy carries the same manufacturer for years then one day just decides to change that and doesnt inform you as a patient ..is bulls*** and should inform their patients of changes so that if necessary, can drop off a script early so that its ready for me by the time i need it...

I am a RN also and have been taking this to control my ADD. Well no surprise I am out of control....all reading this need to understand the previous nurse's post and read up on the new FDA Generic User Fee Amendments of 2012. USA is about to be flooded yet again with more generics licensed to sell per FDA...(ANDA)....(GDFA)...these are important terms to be familiar with in these new and very unfamiliar times...insist your MD writes the manufacturer or brand name...or it's a crap-shoot...what about our geriatric population...or our children ...so scary!

My psy doctor wrote me several prescriptions for my Adderall giving me 3 or 4 to see if it was tolerable. By doing that I was able to see that I definitely could not take Core, it shot my blood pressure up immediately. The with Aurobindo it did not seem I took a stimulant period. That left me with only Teva pill logo B 974. I could take it but I never experienced a clear mind nor could focus on anything. Now he has written Name Brand which will be Teva but with an almost 300.00 increase I hope it works differently than their generic. My last option is Sandbox generic which at this time is unavailable in my town. After that, if it fails the only choice I have is to go back on Shire 30mg XL. I know that works but it has a long lingering effect of not being able to sleep.

Wow dude i feel horrible!!!

Point blank prior script to this one filled today, was pink cor pharm. It was my lets go s***... it worked

Today, went to cvs, got orange oval, TEVA footballs, was stoked to try them. I am stuck now googling the F*** out of this s***, prescribed two 30s a day, took one, waited, was worried so I took an extra becuz I know what one pink does to me....from all I see it's the fillers, and how the fillers affect each person, but what frustrates me, is ToNs of post say that without a Question, football oranges are wayyyy more effective, hour after taking 60mg the footballs, I'm yawning, sluggish, just have a small headache coming on, tired, cold chills....WTF is going on!!!

Wahhhhh, I'm panicking now to have faith in finding a post that says, it takes a day or two for the bad to adjust an just give me the energy i need!!!

ANYBODY PLEASE, since today Is first day I switched from pink to orange football, after adjusting to it will this feeling go away???

Or should I really try switching back or to an alternative option, done mad research and the #1 preferred is these footballs but is this after a few days starting?....god man I am really frustrated right now.

Before last months pinks cor, my first script was orange round aero bindo..worked ok, I don't remember if it took days to adjust like this, only filled it a few hours ago, so am I jumping the gun???

Please....anyone....any input...

When I went to Costco they told me there would be two different pills in the bottle one Sandoz and one Teva. I told him I did not want that and I wanted only Sandoz. He explained the reason behind that was Sandoz cost more to them and they needed to go with the cheapest.

If you can help i'd be thankful....

(Quick back story)

Been on adderall for almost a year or so, switched pharmacies a few times....(reasons I moved) picked up script yesterday I'm prescribed two 30s. A day, been getting the pink round cor pharm for some months that worked for me, only chest pain often, dry mouth, but had my good energy I needed and motivation.....

Well yesterday as I went to CVS picked up my script not thinking s*** till getting home see they were the orange oval Teva footballs, as I've read about differences before I filled this, just never dawned on me to check before. Well after taking my dose I felt tired, yawning, chills, absolute No energy, non social...after seeing these are the # 1 sought out generic, I couldn't even understand this. My question to u is, does it take a few days to actually feel like I'm suppose to with energy, motivation, or is it true that fillers that differ had switched to whatever teva uses, and that's my problem? I've seen so many back an forth, some say cor pharm and a lot say teva, it varies...

Today is my second day taking footballs and I feel actually a bit better but day one dose was terrible....changing generics people are bound to feel changes at 1st, but should adjust right and be on track??

I've also heard that the fillers don't effect most, only sensitive folks. I'm also prescribed one 12mg strip a day along with the 60mg Addie...I've looked all over the net prob my third time back to this page...any input?

Thanks man.

I have the orange football shaped 30 mg. They do not clear the brain fog and you want get a Major boost of energy. If you want the clear focus and energy you may have to go to the original manufacturer Shire even though they only produce
the XL version they work.

Hello everybody. I live in Boston MA, 40 years old, male. I have been taking Global pharma generic adderall 20mg XR for the past couple of months, and I take it 3-4 days a week in the morning (it works reasonably well though the effect is sometimes inconsistent). I am also on Wellburtin 150 mg XL once daily in the morning which is working quite well in my opinion. My doctor wants me to try the immediate release tablets because I do not really want to take the XR everyday, and some days I could do with some adderall only in the afternoon. I read that there are many manufacturers of generic adderall out there, and that they tend to be very different from each other in terms of efficacy, side effects, etc. I am wondering if I should give the instant release tablet a try and if so which manufacturer should I go for (I may even tell my doctor to write DAW on the prescription). Thanks for your help everybody!!

Made complaint with FDA about football shape orange oval 30mg IR ...

Two weeks to go, no new updates damn....

I even take 3,000mg of antacid calcium supplement 10mins prior to my dose, with this teva bullahit I must take my full daily dose at once 60mg (30mg/twice daily) an even with the antacid it works for maybe 45mins

Going back to pinks, seems they love switching formulas an ripping is patients off any chance they get

Anyone please make complaint with FDA about problems, takes 5mins. We must stand up or nothing will change !

My pharmacist has ordered Sandoz brand generic 20 mg IR tablets for me for the last 5 years. At my last visit she informed me that the manufacturer has discontinued production of these.

Teva has been changed. My pharmacist told me the company including the name were sold. He described my symptoms: tired, queasy, no energy. He said he has reported 25 cases to the FDA. I have taken them for years & I noticed right away. Will try Cora Pharma. But the old Teva is no more.

I agree! This is so watered down that a 20 mg dose that used to last about 6 hrs, lasts about 2 hrs??

Thank you!
I have the exact same problem. They changed dramatically. (30 mg IR)
I noticed they are harder to break than before.
Very little effect. I was confused and thought maybe my tolerance went up all of a sudden.

I have had same problem. My psy gave me enough scripts to check out four brands. Although the Teva B 974 30mg barley even wake you up out of the four it was the least harsh for rapid heart beat and trembling. I just have to add an extra little piece to keep it working at all. No clear mind. Please do a med watch report. Another thing I am starting to have allergic reactions to all generic medication. Dr. Just wrote script for Dexedrine but I have no idea what manufacturer is the better one.

Teva has always worked great. And I like Mylan as well!! Good luck to all. I just can't stand COR adderall. They give me bad head aches

REPLY

I disagree. Mylan are bad along with most of the other medications made by that manufacturer. Teva/Barr were always great till recently, I miss the old Barr formula so much. But luckily I found a rare small pharmacy a few towns over from my house that can order Sandoz which is not the case if you are stuck filling your stuff at a chain store.
