Adderall Manufactured By Teva Not Working (Page 47)
(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

Unfortunately the quality control for Teva is just not great. Different pills in the same bottle have different levels of efficacy. These days many of the main Adderall generic manufacturers are based overseas. Aurobindo is manufactured in India. Teva is manufactured in Palestine. Corepharna is manufactured in China and India.

Very few brands are made in the US. Sandoz is one of them though.

I’m currently prescribed vyvanse. I took it 7 years ago as well and I feel like it hasn’t changed.

They both have their benefits and drawbacks.

This post has a lot of good info on both a few pages pack.

Hi
I went Vyvanse route too.

Very good med but still in patent.

Also, it's a Levo version so it's broken down via digestive. You will get hyper focus, dullness in personality and made me very irritable. No motivation as its not hitting all 4 aspects of adderall combo. In addition, it does not last all day.

With that said, it may work great for you as our brains are all wired uniquely.

Try it for a month. It may or may not be your holy Grail but nothing ventured..nothing gained.

Good luck!

Teva is the best of the worst. Even then I still think the effects are much much less than how I remember them. I took adderall, prescribed, for years. You really should give vyvanse a try.

Good luck!!

Re: Lucy (# 462)

I've just tried the Brand by Teva. Here is my summation:

Good
1. No side effects other than dry mouth.
2. Slow onset.
3. Good focus.

Bad
1. Cost!
2. Still has that sweet taste but not as bad as Teva Generic.
3. Quick tolerance.

I'm not sure this is the Holy Grail but not bad.

Good luck!

Re: Pharmacy tech (# 461)

Which generic brand have you found to be the most effective? Ive noticed the Teva brand I’ve been taking is not working like it used to. Do you think the Adderall name brand is better than any of the generics? Thanks for any info you could give me!

The best thing to do is call your pharmacy... I do suggest you do the FDA thing as well but if you call your pharmacy you can have them notate your account that you cannot have that specific brand and before you get them filled again call different pharmacies and see if they have the brand that you need. I have had the same problem with the same brand. I had to call 16 different pharmacies to find one that actually had the medicine and that had a generic that was not the stupid octagon white ones. They cause everything from migraines to vomiting and they do not work. The pharmacist said they can be off by as many as 10 mg.

It is Ridiculous!! It’s like taking nothing at all! I take Adderall for Chronic Fatigue (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) & needless to say I’ve been suffering needlessly because drug companies are NOT doing what they are suppose to do to help people with their health issues!!

Is it an octagonal white pill? I see peach by Teva when I google it & a white octagonal pill doesn't come up on my searches so far.

I believe this is what my son was given the last 2 times, same issue. Also, it makes him quite moody. The doctor tried increasing the dose to 30 mg, but with little improvement & he is very moody on it.

Re: Lucy (# 449)

Try Dexedrine IR
Much better than Vyvanse and Aderall.
I find the ones from Wilshire to be the best ones right now. The good Barr formulas are no longer available.

Re: purplerayn86 (# 453)

I may try Teva again. Aurobindo seemed to work well for me but my doc just increased my dosage to 30 mg 2x day. Hopefully it works well.

Re: Aurobindo Sucks (# 451)

AMEN, Corrr, Mylan, Aurobindo and last but not least actavis Adderall generics are complete trash, HORRIBLE side effects!, To the point I had to have my doctor write Teva/Barr medically necessary wich took along time due to shortages and whatnot. However these are the best hands down(TEVA) Brand Adderall is closest to the actual patented brand and at once was the patented brand; until around 2012-13 if I’m wrong correct me, but there are minimal side effects and Teva is also superior in other generics narcotic and non-narcotic. my opinion, I am not a doctor nor do I endorse any medication misuse this is intended for informational purposes only. Be safe and follow doctors orders.

You guys should try adzenys, it seems to work for me. No up and down, just a steady plateau. It expensive though.

Teva is pretty good imo compared to other options right now imo. Aurobindo and Corepharma are ass. Maybe give it a couple more tries?

Re: Lucy (# 449)

Vyvanse is only available as is, however, Dexedrine is a more immediate acting version of Vyvanse.

Vyvanse isn't techincally an extended release medication, however it does act like one. It's contents are only metabolized in our digestive system at a certain rate and so it acts as if it were an extended release substance. -This is different than adderall.

(Vyvanse is dextroamphetamine with a lysine molecule attached to it. That lysine molecule must be cleaved off of the dextroamphetamine in our digestive system before the dextroamphetamine can take effect. This happens at a certain rate in our bodies.)

(Dexedrine does not contain the lysine molecule, thus dextroamphetamine takes effect much quicker)

Note: Vyvanse is much smoother because of the gradual "come-up" and "come-down"

Re: Nick (# 448)

Hi Can you get the Vyvanse in an instant release instead of extended? I take Adderall for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome so the extended release form doesn't work for my Chronic Fatigue. Thanks!!
