Adderall Manufactured By Teva Not Working (Page 60) (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?

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.

Elevated liver enzymes and other liver issues are a clear sign of heavy amp usage. Generic or brand names make no difference to addictions.

Hi, can anyone give me information on what brand does CVS usually carry? I was on 20mg and due to some type of backorder I'm told by every single pharmacy in my area, including my pharmacy Walgreens here in Florida..so my doctor gave me new scripts for adderall 30mg...I know Walgreens carry teva, but what about CVS?? THX

In my area (Miami), CVS predominantly stocks Aurobindo. They used to only carry Mylan, but that seems to have changed in the last 6 months.

Oh my gosh. I take celexa too. I was wondering what was happening. I was getting really upset and like angry inside for the littlest things. I’ll have to check the brand I have from Walmart. I never had these moments before like I do now. Thanks for the info.

Thank you for sharing your message. I too get shortness of breath and at times I can feel my heart do something. I’m definitely talking to my pharmacy and my doctor. I have mentioned to him before about the shortness of breath and the heart movements I sometimes feel. He wants to order a stress test. First I will find a pharmacy who will order that brand you mentioned starting with a C. Thank you for sharing.

Hi,

I have tried them all and am now on Adderall XR Brand/30 mg by Shire.

These are the real thing with very few side effects. Great motivation and improved mood from that crap Teva generic.

Unfortunately, it will cost you. My co pay with Express Scripts is $100 or $20...seems they roll the dice which price I get!

Adderall XR does not come on strong as it has beads for 10 hour coverage (not quite..ha).

Bottlim line is its a clean med that is made in States!

As always, this is my opinion only but if you can swing it (cost) and are using this Med as intended its worth your consideration

Good luck

Hamster

Re: stuart522 (# 917)


All that I am attempting to articulate is this:

If an FDA quality control inspection crew (came unannounced) and found gross negligence in a company’s operations, this —destroys- not only the firm’s “Bottom Line” but, and perhaps even more importantly, their reputation.

Now: is it conceivable that a firm would produce a product that is not bioequivalent

Absolutely… This is...untenable

But they also know that they are, in many ways, “ruined’ if they do this and are found out

My first sentence in my previous post contained an error

I meant to write: First let me say that I believe Big Pharma is correct. This is untenable

Hi. I’ve never ever heard this explanation regarding the differences from one generic manufacturer to the other.. i’m just curious where did you obtain this information? It seems to make sense though regarding why some work better than the others. Thank you

Re: SJ (# 940)

Hi, SJ. I’m sorry you still aren’t finding relief. I’m okay with the current Teva brand. I’ve stopped taking 25 mgs 2x/day and am using less. I make sure I eat well before taking in the morning and take less than prescribed in the afternoon. I’m thinking of switching to Ritalin to see what that is like next month which I believe my doctor will prescribe. I have been using the regular and not the XR. Take care and good luck moving forward.

Some are blanks - most generics are made in China.

This goes to show that these problems are not due to the placebo effect.

Re: skeptical1 (# 958)

Sorry, teva and elite are not the same. Teva/Barr say B97* (* is explained below). Elite is with Lannett and there's look almost identical as the Teva/Barr but a little lighter and say E50* (the * is put there bc the last number varies per milligram).

If you are getting legit teva then it seems to be fine, it's the elite/Lannett that don't work as well. They are making meds that seem to counteract some part of it that gives the feeling that people get addicted to or some s*** like that... aka take the part of the adderall that we with ADHD NEED, not want.
