Adderall Manufactured By Teva Not Working (Page 49)
(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: Hamster (# 421)

Hamster,

When you say the Shire XR are potent...

What exactly do you mean?

Do they have a kick in the pants of motivation to help you get up and get stuff done?

Or are they just making you hyper focus with no personality like a working drone?

Please clarify.
Thank you,
RQJ

"Please help me. how do i fix this? or did i really screw up and now they will never work again?"

I read somewhere that when a person does this they need to stop to let the brain replenish its dopamine. In other words, more or less, you built up a tolerance very quickly. Probably best to stop for a week or so. And speak to a doctor and go to an urgent care if you need to. People here are not doctors.

Stop taking it for a couple of days and let the toxins flush out of your body. Hope this helps.

Re: Kim (# 20)

please help.. I don't know if i screwed myself or its just the generic pills. so i started back on addy 30mg ir 3x a day two weeks ago after 2 years off and for a week everything was perfect. I messed up bad one day and took a monster dose 300mg in two doses. now the pills don't work at all if fact they have the paradoxical effect exhasserbating (yeah i spelled that completely wrong lol) all of my worst add symptoms, including a very strange and distant feeling.. i actually feel way better when the drug is out of my system. No matter how much i take the feeling remains. Please help me. how do i fix this? or did i really screw up and now they will never work again?

Re: Hamster (# 421)

Congratulations on your success...and sharing it with the rest of us. Wow...please clarify...is the information below accurate?

You are taking one 30mg XR capsule per day....and that's it? And you're saying that a single capsule 30mg dose gets you from 8:00am..ish to 5:00-6:00pm..ish? No late in the afternoon 20mg IR boost...?

Re: Jon (# 417)

This is ironic, because the same situation is happening with my son. He's only 7 the medication should and has always been enough. But, it's not. I have even accused him of spitting his medicine out. Now I make sure he has taken it and still not near the effects as it was when using the other brand. I mean if for a 7 year old the 20mg strength isn't enough there's a problem.

Re: Jon (# 420)

I went to my Doc yesterday and basically threw my arms up on these unpredictable Adderall IR's. We decided to try the 30 XR Sandoz again. So I left office to fill it and the pharmacist at CVS told me it would be a $282 copay for the 30mg XR...WTF? Then as the pharmacist was reading the computer monitor, told me my insurance - Express Scripts- Just made a change to allow for Adderall XR Brand by Shire and the copay is $20 bucks! As I picked it up, my jaw from the floor told him "Yes, go with Brand!" So, after 2 days on these, I sort of remember why I went back to the IR's: First of all, these Adderall XR by Shire are POTENT! I've had 2 days of solid work- almost to the point of hyperfocusing- so all caught up after 12 day "vacation." Major loss of appetite (I could eat a horse on Aurobindo and Core!) so must ensure you're eating right and taking Magnesium and Zinc supplements for the dehydration. I still do not like messing with capsules for dosage adjustments but these Brand XR are the REAL THING! (BTW, I checked my Express Scripts account today and they paid $492 and I paid the $20 bucks copay).

I know this is an old post but I just recently got Teva 20mg. and was really annoyed that it didn't work nearly as well as the Aurobindo. Granted the Aurobindo did give me slight headaches at the end of the day but worked much better. I new to this as my Dr. just diagnosed me with ADHD so I'm only going on 4 months of taking it. Had no idea of the differences in generics. I did fill out the form for the FDA. Problem is I can't seem to find any other pharmacy that has anything else.

I am the initial writer of this and it has truly proved what we all have confirmed. The s*** is no good period. Now let me also give all the bad news, I also never had a cavity period. Yet I am now left with two front teeth and 6 bottom middle teeth. They just got loose and fell out - the reason Adderall; a methamphetamine mouth from Adderall. Look it up, it's the identical formula. One and the same. So you will lose your teeth. These damn people know yet no side effect. I'm trying to get all of you to help me figure out how to start this legal suit.

I am currently trying adzenys, which seems to be working pretty well, helluva expensive though, over 300 for a months supply

I just started a couple of months ago with the 20mg generic Adderall and started with Aurobindo from CVS and it seemed to work pretty good and then I went for a refill and all the CVS 's were out and I tried Walgreens and they gave me Teva brand and it doesn't seem to be nearly as good as the Aurobindo. Shouldn't we be able to specify what brand of generic we want? All the pharmacies I've called or visited are either out or can't get a certain brand generic. Totally frustrated. What the heck am I supposed to do? I told my Dr. but they don't know what to do about it. I would really like to try Sandoz.

Re: Hamster (# 396)

I did not like the fact you could not "regulate" the dosage. (of Vyvanse)

I was using Vyvanse for a while and I regulated the dosage as such:

1) Opened the capsule and poured some into a spoon and closed the capsule. But since the capsule can break I would pour an entire capsule into a small med bottle and then sprinkle some out on a spoon.

2) Take the spoon and mix it into a small amount of very hot water or coffee and drink however since it doesn't completely dissolve then put more water into the cup and drink it.

or

using the spoon lick the powder off it and then swallow hot water or coffee.

It worked for me! :)

For Lucy, or -anyone- who wishes to file a complaint with the FDA, which I encourage anyone who has experienced negative effects from Teva, simply click the below link, or google "report a drug to the FDA".

Re: Nick (# 413)

I had my doc write a trial script for the brand so I can see if it's any better. It turns out they did more harm than good; for the two days I took it I was a walking disaster. For me the s***ty generic teva works better than their brand.

Re: Grendel (# 411)

This is true.

It seems strange to me that Teva has brand and generic adderall. How are they different?

Dave (# 404) for me personally I've only had Teva and aurobino brand , I can say for me the Teva brand seems to be far more effective then aurobindo I recently refilled at CVS and was extremely disappointed in them they almost had the exact opposite effect on my add I'll never get them again always ask what generics are on hand . Teva is also cheaper $5 for 90 compared to aurobindo which was $12 with my insurance

Hi James. I went to the FDA Website to file a report about the Teva drug but I couldn't find where to do that. Could you please tell me where I go to do that once I get on their website? Thank you so much!!

Re: sarah ada (# 7)

I too have been having rapid heartbeat & very bad anxiety with the Teva brand. I hope they will change whatever it is they have been putting in it & make it the way they used to or I'm going to start requesting the brand Adderall!!
