Adderall Manufactured By Teva Not Working (Page 30)
(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?

Re: Ryan (# 807)

Hello, Sorry to hear this. I believe you may get many answers. From my own experience. My Dr is pretty good. I have seen him for 15 years. He is willing to give me another script to replace. I must have the remaining pills. So this hurdle i have jumped then i must have a pharmacist also approval. That's my second hurdle. Then finding the other brand with that pharmacist thats the 3rd hurdle. 4th hurdle will you pay out of pocket or try to get insurance to pay. Its like going to a boxing match. I would do a few phone calls first. Talk with a few pharmacists first. They will be the biggest obstacle. They may have the authority, but not want to touch this. Depending on any relationship you may have with them. Pharmacist have pull and can do things. Often they stick to the strict because its on them. Example. My Dr. Would write me a script if i had ever lost mt script. The pharmacy won't fill it because its early, even though my dr wrote it. My dr. Cant make them fill. My insurance wouldnt cover. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE. You just want replacement. It will cost no matter what. The worst case is they say no. Call your pharmacy and talk with the pharmacist. Ask then ask if you can find out the brands for future fillings. Some will discuss over the phone, but many won't because of their own security reasons of not wanting the wrong people knowing the pharmacy carries this. Hope this helped a bit. Peace & Soul.

I have these exact same pills, filled it 2 weeks ago. They are horrible and are giving me so much anxiety. My mouth is more dry than it has ever been, to the point that my tongue is swelling and I can't get it to go down regardless of how much water or ice I drink. My uvula in my throat is about twice as long as usual, very skinny, and is sitting on my tongue to the point that it feels like I am swallowing it. Every day I wake up with a horrible headache and my jaw is on fire from grinding all night. I am exhausted on these Teva pills and find I can't focus at all on my dosage. The pills seem to stop working within 2 hours and my legs start shaking uncontrollably....This doesn't happen with any other brand/generic, and this is the first time I've had Teva pills.

Am I able to swap these at a pharmacy? I can't keep taking these or I think m uvula will rip completely off my mouth and my teeth will rot from my desert mouth...

Re: T (# 805)

I am sorry tpo hear this.This isn't uncommon. Talk with your dr. May i suggest keeping a daily log/ journal . I myself learned that i the medication is a tool. I needed to use this tool and figure how it may work for me. I split pills often and tried spreading it out. I tried on empty stomach. I tried to eat less sugars and sodas of any.i would drink a cup of coffee or tea. Then again it can be the darn manufacturers. Its easy to jump in when you hear many having the same difficulty. Just make sure you see for yourself. I know it is frustrating. You may need a different dose or a different medication. Its not uncommon to add or change. Dosing is huge. Good luck. Dierdre

Can someone see my message and respond, for some reason I am worried, I have been on sandoz aderall ir 10mg 2x a day for the better part of 7 months. Over time it has not even been better than a placebo pill, I am worried I can't focus but at the same time I hyperfocus, I am extremely talkative now.

I feel as though all my adhd symptoms are coming back and meds aren't helping, has anyone any advice?

Re: Charlene (# 803)

The manufacturer is key. I cant remember which one,but i had an orange football shaped that was on the fat/ puffy side. This i liked. I have had the football shape flat , not so much. I honestly cant even keep track. Its about as inconsistent as my adhd.

Re: Dierdre (# 802)

Do u mean the white one I dont like is mallinckrodt? Or the orange one I do like..it seemed like that white looking stop sign did nothing for me at all. The orange is good

Re: Charlene (# 801)

Mallinckrodt I believe is the company you're talking about .I just picked up this prescription for the first time.The delivery is so different. Talk about a day to day of unexpected. This is what our whole pharmaceutical world has come down to. Disgusting. It tells me that adhd add narcolepsy or whatever off label it may be written for isnt taken seriously at all. Seriously by the pharmaceutical world.

Can someone help me out? My adderall is a 20mg, orange markings are b 973 on the other side is a 2/0. Could it be made by teva? My paperwork or bottle say nothing about it. I once picked it up at a different pharmacy I didn't like that one at all.. it also was a 20mg I remember it was white in color and the shape I believe was like a stop sign, I may have to change Pharmacy's due to insurance and I don't want to end up with the white one ever again so I want to know what I'm talking about when I ask them what brand they carry. Thx anyone who can help me much appreciated

Re: Heather (# 797)

No problem. Lol...I completely understand. Thank you. I don't know why I've come under fire but it wouldn't be the first time my ADD put me in that spot. Lol. I lost the feeling of support and common ground that I felt from this forum until I saw your post just now. Thank you. :)
My name is Tiffany by the way. My "handle" is directed at the real trolls. :)

Re: James (# 798)

Are you serious??? Please tell me why you made such a comment and explain exactly how you concluded that I am "malingering". Wow. I'm guessing you didn't read/follow all previous posts or pay attention to whom each post was written by. I'm at a loss where this is coming from considering it was myself and Karen, another forum member who were called out and labeled as "drug addicts seeking their next high" for discussing the very topic of this forum. I came to this forum seeking answers and help. Congrats....you and "ADSMHD" should have a lot to talk about.

She was not drug seeking or malingering. She was simply asking about a specific generic brand,

You are the one who is.... malingering

Re: BobH (# 787)

I am not the one who posted the offending comments that you are referring to. My comments have been in response to the ignorant and offensive posts from "ADSMHD". I have been treated for ADHD for 30 years and joined this forum seeking information regarding the ineffectiveness of my medication mfg'd by Teva. "ADSMHD" came to the conclusion that myself and others in this forum are "drug addicts seeking their next high or euphoria" based on the simple fact that we are questioning the quality of a particular mfg's generic Adderall. I am in total agreement with your post. I, however am not the person that displays an embarrassing amount of arrogance and a total lack of humility. That would be "ADSMHD". My reference to "entertainment" is directed at the false sense of enlightenment "ADSMHD" seems to think he/she has achieved that enables him to diagnose and label people like myself who share in this forum hoping to find answers and possibly help others.

I am glad to see someone else experience this. Most Dr and pharmacists say they are the same. I have cried, had withdrawal symptoms. No one believes.. Hope these posts will help get F & D. attention.

Re: James (# 786)

If I had the option of continuing on a stable generic Adderall IR I would prefer it, only because Mydayis Isn’t on demand, it’s all or nothing. Most days that’s ok, but on the weekend when I had breaks from work I’d find that I took less Adderall or none at all. Now if I don’t take the Mydayis daily, I find myself not being able to do much the days I’ve tried to skip the dose. At least with the IR I could control the number of hours it was effective (when it was effective!). Overall I’d still rather have a drug that works and deal with all or nothing than to struggle taking the generic Adderall IR.
