Adderall Manufactured By Teva Not Working (Page 16)
(Newest replies first)

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

Thank you for sharing this! I just got a new refill in the last 2 days and I am not feeling anything like I normally have always and I even seem to be tired believe it or not. This is what worst feeling and the are definitely not working. Because of the effects I was feeling that's why I just wanted to Google it and found this.

None of the manufacturers work. Reason being is they all get api from the same suppliers. Also api had a 50% increase in cost which the manufacturers have to absorb. Another thing their haven't been able to get api because of raw supply manufacturing shut downs which is different from a pill manufacturer. Our meds were already impacted from the sketchy manufacturers cutting corners. Also you have the dea who put a quota on the amount of meds that can be produced yearly which they screwed up on because covid caused alot of people to work from home and kids to learn from home, which increased ADHD diagnosis and a demand increase for the meds they try to regulate limits because of addicts on the streets. The FDA is terrified of drug shortages because its their responsibility to maintain the constant supply chain and we now know their funded by these same manufacturers that they inspect. It used to be based on just tax payers dollars to keep them paid. So even if they know about this they will not rush to fix it. There are a few trusted news sites and articles to get info I'd recommend not using google, they're pretty filtered in terms of reliable source it's a big monopoly. Sorry but I don't trust putting pictures of medicine info on internet. If you would like I can give you the NDC number, company names, and possibly a batch number.

I have found, just recently, that Teva seems to be working much better.
At least, it is the only generic brand that I would recommend… That is for sure. I take 30 mg IR

The manufacturer is Teva and they aren’t working ? Are the 20 mg IR ? Or the capsule ? Also, is each item branded ? If images were displayed with these comments it would be more helpful.

I am so glad that I am not the only one realizing this. I thought it was just
My tolerance going through the roof in the last year although I probably take even less than I did then so that didn’t make sense. It’s like no matter what generic I request, they all do nothing. They are nothing like they were even a couple of years ago. I thought it was in my head. I’m even a Pharmacy Student so I know how this all works and there’s nothing more infuriating than when you’re treated like a drug seeker and a pharmacy or Dr. states “they should all be about the same.” They if anyone should know that’s not true.

Dude RIGHT! They are even made to look like Teva. Lannett is literally worse than nothing, it has completely opposite effects and is worse than a sugar pill. Absolute worst generic out there for sure. I dealt with that 1 month in 2020 and never again, honestly Teva seems to be one of the better ones available right now. Aurobindo may have changed their formula cus they used to be awful but they are not so bad last time I had to fill that.

Re: SarahAda (# 2)

The irony in this is that now in 2021 Teva is literally one of the only decent generic brands of Adderall (they all suck, have a very low therapeutic value, tons of fillers, little active ingredient to cut corners and save $$). There’s a new manufacturer every day it seems like. Supposedly Teva’s generic IR (at least now) is the closest in relation to Brand as I believe Teva now manufactures the brand. NEVER ever let your pharmacy fill Lannett. You’ll think Teva was gold and really have an FDA complaint on your hands.

Wow that was mind blowing and very very insightful! How brave of her! I will def take her advice on reaching out to my district legislature‘s and officials as she noted! I hope everyone else is enlightened to do the same, this is so sad! I suffer for years with quality control and month to month new ingredients in generic meds making me sick or my asthma worse or ineffective causing me to Leave my keys in the car while I have my toddler with me multiple times a month I miss insane how this is legal to mess with peoples lives like this. Just horrifying. Thanks for that YouTube video, wow!

I am having the exact same problem. I got 60 x 20mg tabs of teva and it's like several of the active ingredients are missing. It barely does what it used to do. I take one then another then another and it barely works. I heard that the pandemic caused a chemical shortage so they're shipping out the pills with one or more active ingredients missing.

Generic medication cannot be equivalent to the namebrand. If that were true both could not exist. There is a 20% difference and also the molecular differences are obvious to anyone when please side-by-side.

Re: Nick87 (# 1069)

It’s highly unlikely that the manufacturing will change any time soon. Just because they bought the entire company doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll go change every formula/production operation at every site that was previously owned by teva.

On a side note, there was a mass adderall shortage in the Midwest in February and March, and since then, multiple people and myself have noticed a massive decrease in the efficacy of the teva brand. I’ve also had the brand that just bought teva, and the efficacy of those things is s*** even compared to the (most likely) cut teva brand adderall.

There hasn’t been an FDA inspection in over a year, and even when they do come...they don’t actually test the products for accuracy. They simply rely on the data reports produced by the company. So they’re basically unregulated, and in addition to the massive shortage recently....there’s no way in hell we’re all crazy. The pills f***ing suck. Big pharma is just a giant drug dealer, cutting their supply.

I don't know about one being more or less effective than another; I've been given at least two different generics pretty interchangeably since it was first prescribed to me a couple years ago and both seemed to work fine until this week.

I started a new bottle marked Barr and on the second day suffered a mixed episode of my bipolar disorder, which has never happened before. While I'm reasonably certain I've had the Barr type before, this bottle has to be different in some way, which is possible since it's been quite a while since the pharmacy last gave it to me. Perhaps they've changed the formula or the release mechanism or something.

All my previous recent bottles have been Alvogen (I keep them for recycling). All I know is that I will absolutely never take Barr's version again, and if anyone else also suffers from bipolar disorder, you should be especially careful of it.

Re: TM (# 1070)

I havent seen any official reports of Teva actually stating anything about merging with any companies as far as adderall goes. I’ve seen buy outs from years ago. I called a local Rite Aid today and the pharmacist told me that they have Activis/Teva in stock. He said he assumes maybe they bought them out but no one locally carries just Teva anymore. URG. I’m waiting to drop my script off that is for two months. I don’t want to waste another two months of my life

Re: TM (# 1070)

I have a script of XR I still need to drop off. I’ve called all of the near pharmacies and none of them have the ones I’m looking for. I get a script for two months, so I’m doing my research before I waste another two months of my life again

Re: Nick87 (# 1069)

I have read that Lennett is the exclusive marketing & distributor for Teva now. haven't found anything that reports Lennett is manufacturing Adderall IR themselves. I could be wrong though. I recently picked up my new script made by Zydus & it's crap just like Teva.
