Adderall Manufactured By Teva Not Working (Page 53)

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: joe (# 1036)

Hi Joe. I have filed 6 complaints in the past 3 years. I know I can't be the only one following complaints since this is such a widespread issue. Still have yet to see the FDA take any action whatsoever. I think the only action they're taking is putting money in their pocket from Teva. Where I live in Colorado Teba has made themselves be the only brand that's available in the 7 pharmacies in my area. I would seriously choose Aurobindo or any other manufacturer at this point. I have noticed the an effectiveness of other medications that have come from Teva as well. Curious if anyone else has encountered this also.

Re: TM (# 1041)

REF: post #1035....Here is the book on USA & foreign Pharmaceutical Fraud & Corruption!

"Bottle Lies" subtitled "Ranbaxy & the Dark Side of the Indian Market" author Katherine Eban. (published in 2019) . Note: Even Ranbaxy made a generic Adderall from 2008 to 2010, when they got in trouble, with USA authorities, I had one prescription of this Ranbaxy mfg "mixed amphetamine salts" for the former Brand Name Adderall, by Richwood (1994 to 2001) ShireUS until post 2002, to IDK for sure but around 2008/2009. (Instant Release generic Adderall 5 mg/7.5 mg/10mg/12.5mg/20mg./30mg.)

This was the hard-cover name of the book my (highly credentialed) new old school USA Psychiatrist, with our new intake 50 minute interview, my 70+ "Shrink" fully agreed with both the book and his & my attitude....saying generic ADHD / Narcolesy meds has significantly gone down hill, for the past imo since at least late 2011 to here & now !! The book "Bottle of Lies" is on the few books in his office, for patients I guess to observe.

Hamster (# 1023) --

I learned that the fda hasnt done manufacturing inspections since like last spring due to covid.Its bad enough they give them up to 12 twelve weeks in advance they're coming to inspect mostly overseas.China and india.Just saw in news article another indian company falsified data papers.I read they change data on paper and on computers for bioequivelance false test results like for batches of the drug. to avoid penalties and its more than one company.Also expecially lately due to covid india has been heavenly relying on china for their API (ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENTS) IVE read a few articles where the drug didnt even have the right api imagine that plus our fda giving them a heads up to inspect.Also to know even if or when the fda does run a test there their only testing for bioequivelence not to see if its effective say like giving someone one and saying now tell me if it works or not.

Or stop taking methamphetamines and opiates on the side and go to sleep at least 6 days a week and you'll be all better.

I don't know if there is a difference, but my generic 30mg IR's come from TEVA USA, (vs. being made out of the country), and they seemed to be a little lighter shade of peach than i remember, but I can tell you after FINALLY, 3 weeks past the refill date I was able to fill my 90 day supply, the TEVA-USA ones work GREAT STILL. I don't know who has a problem with them, and whom they prefer instead. I have Sandoz and Teva; the TWO BEST.

I would just like to reiterate, that maybe whomever said that the Teva Adderall’s aren’t working, I strongly disagree. As a matter of fact, I have my two preferred brands, Sandoz and Teva, both work great! *Now, my Adderall is from Teva-USA, so maybe because it’s made in their US generics division and not overseas the quality control was better cuz they work the same as I’ve always known them to.

Re: Runsand (# 1048)

Because the manufacturer says Teva USA and they gave me two whole actual pharmacy bottles. (It was a 270 tablet order). The Teva label was Purple, not Green, and the address was in America.

Re: Davemp88 (# 1050)

I think they do make some meds in USA, but now I'm curious. Does the label say "manufacturered by"?

Some will have a USA address that says "manufactured for" or "distributed by".

Either way, if they work well, I guess it doesn't matter.

Yeah, it shows the plant they came from. I believe it’s in North Wales, PA.

How about this “replacement” for Teva?

Now my “go to” pharmacy/Grocery chain here in San Antonio carries no more Teva but a very similar looking Teva 30 mg IR - not made by Teva- but by Elite Pharmaceutical - with a distribution handled by Lannett.

Again, these pills are eerily similar looking but new Lannett are lighter peach in 30mg,

Any comments for those that have tried this generic?

Please find out what medicine will take the place of Adderall better as I have to drive to all my appointments and I ha be narcolepsy and I just fall asleep on them. Half of the Teva brand (the orange football) have the numbers and letter have been upside down in the same script. What is going on. I need medicine now as like I said, I have narcolepsy and have several appointments and x-rays coming up again and this is very very serious and dangerous for me. I leave a letter stating that this adderall does not work on my table so they can call my lawyer if something should happen to me and get to the bottom of this. This is no game!! This is very dangerous for me. I made it very clear for my lawyer to a full investigation on my narcolepsy medicine because they are not working and half of them have the numbers and letter upside down. I want to know what is going on

Yes! There is something going on with stimulant medications. Please tell the FDA and your state and national representatives and senators.

Re: Ks83 (# 1057)

Covid only made it worse with fda overseas inspections mostly Adderall coming from china. I'm sure china and india are using it to their advantage giving us fake meds.

And also i read about manutacturers of raw amphetamine, shutting down or working half capacity. Just filled teva usa and it's as bad as it was in december for me, not effective.

I saw someone posting about bottle of lies. It's worth checking out. Katherine Eban she also has youtube videos talking about corruption in our medications.

Same! I know this is late but this is my second prescription ever of this brand at 20 mg, my first script was awesome! And I got the second, and it feels like it isn’t working AT ALL! I had to take 2 whole ones to get any effect so I could even try to do some work.
