Adderall Manufactured By Teva Not Working (Page 64)
(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

Try a different Pharmacy. The reason that Pharmacy will not order a different brand is because it Costs Them More Money. TEVA is Cheaper! It's all about Money...Profit! Go to a different Pharmacy. Try Rite Aide. They had Core and Teva and a very nice Pharmacist. Tell them that you do not want TEVA, because it doesn't work like it used to and there are Tons of Complaints about this Brand. My Personal experience is that I took it for years. It worked fine. I went back on ADD Meds after awhile off and this Brand did not work as before. Don't let any Pharmacist call you a Liar. Your Mom is telling the Truth.

Try the Core Brand. Rite Aid Pharmacy carries them or maybe will order them.

the adderral 20 mg made by teva are disorienting. i cannot believe they make the 30 Mg - the 30 mg is amazing: i feel calm, clarity, amd organized. the teva 20 Mg is totally crap! how in the world can teva 20 Mg be making teva 30's if they are so different ?
someone mentioned that teva 30 mg ir are actually made by Sandoz? is this true?

I heard that there was a recall by TEVA of 20 mg?? Or maybe you could be right about the 10's. But the reason was because they put too much of the Active Ingredient into the tablets!! In other words they sent out some Adderall that was strong, for a change, but wanted it back!

JMD- her doctor can write the specific generic dispense as written (DAW) and they HAVE to fill it.

my mom's having soo much trouble getting any pharmacist to list to her and they keep telling her they can't order another generic bc there's nothing wrong w/Teva aderrall! Even tho I've found out Teva had a recall on 2 lots of 10mg aderrall! They haven't heard about it and apparently it's not worth the time for them to even look into it! Its been 6 months of my mom's life, not to mention he had a stroke last summer!

My 6th month on Generic Adderall I was given TEVA Brand. When I took the 1st tablet, I felt absolutely nothing. The 2nd tablet, nothing! The entire month I returned to my Pre-Adderall State of Depression, ADD, Fatigue, and feelings of hopelessness. TEVA MEDS ARE USELESS!! I switched to CORE 30mg Pink at Rite Aid, and all the above problems disappeared in 2 days! TEVA may work for a few People, but overall, I'm hearing they are more like Sugar Pills. They stole an entire month of my Life away.

NEWS FLASH: During all the research I've been doing for my mom on this subject I came across information stating that Teva (made by Actavis)...who's recently merged w/ (ARG) voluntarily called a schedule 2 recall on 2 lots of Teva 10 mg aderrall on July 16, 2015. But the recalled tablets have been being shipped to pharmacies since 2013. I'm still researching more details. I haven't had a lot of time to do additional research/but I am going to get on it asap! I haven't yet found any other websites addressing this recall. My mom's pharmacist said he hasn't been told of any recall. No one seems to know about it!

My doctor and family just look at me when I have said the FDA is told to turn a blind eye by the DEA about the generic IR Adderall. It's almost as if around 2009 TEVA/Barr (and others) puts 75% L-amp and 25% D-amp. I say that because I ONLY get a increased heart rate, very cold hands and feet and that's it. NO cognitive therapeutic effects. Nothing even close to Shire XR or even VyVance. It's like I swallowed a bunch of gas station stay up pills from the 90's. Not good.

Hi, YoungMB! I didn't particularly like the intensity of the Shire XR. It was too much for me! I like the Teva/Barr because I just feel like a normal person on it. It doesn't make me tired per say. I feel happy and motivated, but in a "normal" (for me) way. The regular me lacks focus and motivation, and fights depression anytime it's not bright and sunny out (which in the North East happens a lot through many seasons). The Teva/Barr version helps motivate me through seemingly mundane tasks that I would normally procrastinate with, and slows me down enough to have patience with people and situations while hanging onto my "glass half full" view of life. It's what I imagine non ADD people to be like naturally? I'm happy you have found what is good for you too!! Xo

Adderall Xr name brand is the only one to use. It's made by the original adderall creators! I have not had one problem with it and it's a lot stronger than the teva Barr which makes you feel tired! If your insurance doesn't cover it then ur f***ed but if it does then why aren't you taking the good stuff?! Lol

I have an appt w a neurologist in 3days and it's my first time seeing a neurologist. I think I might have some degree of narcolepsy or a thyroid issue. But I go to a methadone clinic and take valium, both of which I've been on for nearly 10 years and I'm afraid they won't take me seriously bc of my medications. I've been fine for years up until about 3months ago. I rarely take my valium even so those aren't likely a factor. How do I get this Dr. to see past that? Any suggestions on what to say or how to go about this?

Are the Teva brand aderrall just not working for patients taking it for narcolepsy?

Vyvanse is phenomenal; however, you will feel joint and bone pains. And, 30 mgs is enough.

Since my previous posts on this thread starting in the spring or summer, I've found my balance with medication. I use Teva 30IR and Barr 5IR (same company/factory). I do actually find them to be effective. I don't feel extra euphoric or exciteable like the first few days of starting them, but they do help me focus, slow down, and I do feel more motivated and happy than if I were not taking any medicine. I fall asleep at a normal time, and have a normal appetite. That for me is exactly the purpose of the medicine, so I am happy! I actually have my prescription written to only allow Teva/Barr when filling.

The 10 mg IR by Teva are just as bad as their higher mg pills. Teva has reduced the main ingredients as much as legally possible. Every pharmacy is switching to teva bc they're cheaper hence bc they are getting away with selling pills containing probably half the active drug....which is how they can afford to sell them to pharmacies at a cheaper price. I don't think the FDA cares. I'm sure they're all making a killing off this.
