Adderall Manufactured By Teva Not Working (Page 59) (Top voted 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?

I apologize I directed my response to the wrong person. I’m blaming my ADD lol. But seriously... I’m so sorry.

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

You are the one who is.... malingering

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.

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. :)

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

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 (# 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: 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

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: 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.

Does anyone else get extreme buzzing or goosebump feelings using teva generic? I never get this feeling on sandoz. At the same time could sleep deprivation cause problems with Adderall? I am close to switching to XR... so tired of IR.

Re: Charlene (# 801)

What you are looking for is the Adderall IR, 20 mg generic Adderall manufactured by Teva. I thought it didn't work either but then I tried something different. I tried cutting back my dose of 30mg 2 times a day to once. Was not very effective at all (So I thought). I soon realized that the symptoms I had were from the meds being VERY effective. These symptoms are profuse sweating (extreme sweating), headaches, anxiety and feeling like my mind was running in circles. I do believe Teva generic for Adderall IR 30 mg are a good generic. I think we don't realize that they are working but differently than the name brand and I usually get by on one pill/day. If I need extra, I have the option of taking 1/2 to a full 2nd pill but very rarely.

Re: PatientsFirst (# 822)

I think it's cute that a Liberal thinks they know the first thing about God. Most of the responses here are frantic and evident of people using excessive amounts of this prescription medication. I pry that those here get the help they need.

Re: XparraX (# 824)

From my experience, this is true with every generic I have taken.

Your body adjusts, the med is in your system, tolerance begins....

The only solution: Breaks/Holidays so the med is completely out of your system.

Just my 2 cents.

Re: Charlene (# 832)

From My own experience absolutely. First off its less expensive. 2 pills not 3 has been less expensive. Then you split. The issue may be the Availability of the 30smg. From my experience. I have had dr. Re write scripts because the lack of availability of a mg. This happens at times. Just ask. Worse thing they can say is no.

By the intensity of your post you are clearly an addict seeking a "high" from your prescription medication. Before you get your liberal mind in a twist, remember that America is a Christian nation. It always has been.

Re: Stuart522 (# 852)

Nobody, including myself, believes you worked for Glaxosmithkline, regularly "dropped things into a batch while testing...", and as a former Glaxosmithkline employee is telling people to avoid generics. Why? Because it doesn't make sense. People don't buy name-brand, because they can't afford to, and insurance carriers mandate generics when they are available. And "dropping things into a batch while testing?" And "there's a small portion of the pill that we don't know what's in there?" Why? Why doesn't Glaxo know entirely what's in their product? The compounds used are so specific, that there's no reason why that should be the case.
