Adderall Manufactured By Teva Not Working (Page 28)

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?

Did you know that ADHD is the ONLY "mental health" condition that 100% of the time a Placebo does NOT work? That's exceptionality judgemental of you to automatically assume and feel enough confidence in that assumption to call out someone for drug use abuse, no?

If you ADD/ADHD you kind of know if it's it's working or not. And you FEEL the $$ leave your wallet or bank account while STILL FEELING the consequences of how hard it is to function in this world as (I'm speaking from adult with ADHD, assuming the owner of this post is also an adult) an unmedicated adult with ADHD. Which is Especially frustrating when you know the FEELING of "normal" or for myself, more manageable, life because of properly being medicated. When we receive a bad batch prescription, it feels like the world has betrayed us. But it's just TEVA trying to save some money and not knowing/caring about the toll that it plays on the recipients.

Re: Jawepa (# 533)

I can relate and is so frustrating. I have clinical ADD caused by mercury toxicity (very high) & side affects from using pain medication for many years, from chronic pain caused by mercury. Finally gave up on Adderall, Ritalin is much better for true ADD, especially if a possibility you're hypothyroid which also causes cognitive dysfunction, fatigue. Less crash on the back side, however, lasts half as long as Adderall so dosing should be increased.

I've also found supplementing with Nootropics, Omega 3/DHA, Coconut oil, B Complex, L-Tyrosine, L-Theanine,
L-Carnitine, SAMe, Folate, Inositol, Alpha GPC & CDP Choline, 5-HTP can help improve cognition, improve efficiasy of Ritalin & reduce crash from the drugs. But suggest you do your own research, many of the above can not be taken with antidepressant meds.

I own and operate a Co going on 18 yrs so I can't allow cognitive dysfunction to take control, and it's a battle daily. Imperative to maintain good nutrition and to feed the brain what it needs to function correctly. But each person is different so it takes much trial and error to find the correct balance for your individual situation. Best of luck!

I recently read a few reviews that "Sun Pharma" had improved their Adderall and it is pretty good now. I know they were not good in the past.

Can anyone confirm how their quality is lately?
Thank you!!

Re: James (# 540)

Hi.. I have been on adderall for years wotj many times taking more than written on days needed because of the inconsistency with ACTIVE ingredients. This is the first month in months that i was given teva 20mg tablet (football shape) I'm in Ohio and had it filled at Giant Eagle. Im prescribed 20 tablet 4x daily. Total 80mg. I have actually taken less this month not intentionally at all. I looked at my bottle and its Teva.. just thought i would share. Peace & Soul, D

Re: eggspert (# 546)

Corepharma was sold by Impax to a group of investors. The CEO will be one of original Corepharma founders. Also, a top Aurobindo executive joined the group too.

Manufacturing is supposed to start by the end of the 1st quarter. No official word on the previous pink generic Adderall but one can assume that that pill will re-emerge. Time will tell if it's the same!

Mallinckro.. They are not very good. Go for teva before this. Gave me bad headaches migraines. I dont think this has any active ingredients i felt nothing but a migraine from this manufacturer..

Re: James (# 540)

I agree. I think they are rignt in middle right now. Aurobindo and Mallinckro are worst at bottom... I have tried Tevas thirty mg lately due to backorder of Sunpharms addies (my favorite works best for me) teva seems to of improved or it could be after Mallickro my tolerance got out of wack..

Re: Hamster (# 547)

Thanks. They worked wonders for my ADD for many years. I found one remotely as good, called Sun pharma, but they have been put on backorder twice within 12 mos.. Right NOW it is going on nearly 2 mos back ordered, so, i better not get too attached to sun pharma.. Hopefully, the 30 mg corre pharm pinks return! Please update me, if anyone gets these or knows positively they are back. Thank you for taking time to inform me. :)

On 2-7-2018 I purchased Teva's 10 mg IR at Wal-Mart and it's not even close to being correct.

HERE IS PRECISELY HOW I KNOW THIS:

1. After being off all meds for 2 years, and this being my first attempt to get back on the medicine....I can not even feel this medication. Only headaches.

2. So, out of curiosity, I dug out my old "left over" Adderall 10mg IR and... they work just fine. They are a different brand though.

3. So... the takeaway is that 2 year old Adderall by a DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER is much, much, better than brand new Teva. This speaks volumes. TEVA IS USELESS.

4. I remember having this exact same problem with Teva in the past. That is why I grew suspicious and dug out my old bottle of the other brand. Just to check the label. Bingo! Not TEVA.

5. I HAD BEEN DOWN THIS EXACT SAME ROAD WITH TEVA WHEN I TOOK THIS MEDICINE BEFORE... AND HAD TO HAVE MY PHARMACIST ORDERING THE OTHER BRAND, MONTHLY.

6. I think they...TEVA... figure with your "attention deficit"...that you are extremely unlikely to check the manufacturer of the product...until after it is purchased...AND THUS...when you discover that it simply isn't working.

7. NEVER AGAIN TEVA.....NEVER EVER. SHAME ON YOU TEVA.

Re: Steve (# 554)

What is the other brand? And why are you going back on? I always think of trying to stop them but I do need them for work.

My doctor, after testing my focus, concentration and memory, thinks I need to be back on the meds. I have "recurrent ADHD", as the doctor explains it, and extreme life stressors can trigger ADHD symptoms. Symptoms thought to have been resolved can re-manifest themselves. The other (old adderall) brand is (just) Barr. Not the Teva/Barr.

Google FDA TEVA adderall recalls. It is a fairly common thing with them, I guess.

Today I informed my insurance company of my experience with this TEVA. I was told to stop taking it. I was instructed to inform my doctor, and tell them that I had spoken with my insurance company about this brand medication. The insurance company is standing behind me on this problem. The insurance company said that I would likely have to take the remaining bottle of tablets into my doctors office. At the doctors office they would do a pill count. After that, they should write a NEW prescription for the remaining tablets. Then, I could either have the doctor give me a paper-type prescription, so I can take it to any pharmacy to get a different brand...OTHER THAN TEVA.....or I could ask the doctor to write the prescription for Adderall brand only, AND NO GENERICS.

I will post back with how this goes, and explain which avenue I chose. AGAIN, I WAS TOLD BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO STOP TAKING THE TEVA, AND TO NOT USE TEVA IN THE FUTURE. They insisted I inform the doctor... and stop using TEVA....I HOPE YOU'RE LISTENING TEVA....Keep this up TEVA, and you will be selling your company to one that might do generics better. The insurance company is aware of the complaints that people are voicing about the medication.

It’s happened to me multiple times w/ Teva D-amphetamines, where NONE of my pills did ANYTHING but if I take one from an old bottle / dif brand it works! This happened to me w/ Teva multiple times, with both 15mg and 20mg 2x/day dosages. It really s***s on my day when I open a bottle and my medication does not work at all..... it’s even happened during finals week and now I’m trying to study and I have a bottle of TEVA TRASH.

Hey guys, I have been taking TEVA adderall since diagnosed almost 2 years ago and have been taking only my prescribed dose or none at all. Last month's refill (Dec 2017 in Pitt Pa) was fine however my next fill (Jan 2018 in Pitt Pa) was different. I felt sleepy and foggy but at the same time irritable and had horrible muscle cramps and dry mouth. Has anyone else noticed a difference? I am ready to try Adderall XR but have not done much research of the brands. I was actually worried because my normal pharmacy gave me their last batch of Teva in Dec BUT since going to this other pharmacy and getting this new batch of TEVAs makes me question what to get next because they flat out arent working. It is honestly a night and day difference. My diet hasnt changed, i get 7-8 hours of sleep a night, ect. My doctor is very open to my suggestions however I'm not sure what to do next... Vyvance is very expensive and get's such horrible reviews saying it's addictive and then i hear that Adderall XR is also pricy and does ZIP because Teva or prasco or whoever makes that too... Can anyone give me some straight facts? The funny thing is that I am probably better versed all on this than my doctor. Thanks guys
