Aurobindo Adderall - I Think Its Counterfeit - Does Not Work (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I think Aurobindo adderall is counterfeit.. I've Been on adderall for over 7 years and never ever had this brand and I must say IT DOES NOT WORK..... Its total crap. I have went to my pharmacist and talked to him about this this and he told me to contact the FDA. I sent them an email and called. Please do the same. People need there medicine and this is unfair. Since taking this medicine I have had stomach problem and I dont know what I'm taking. People who have taken adderall from different manufactures know this medication is a fake. Here is the food and drug administration information.

Re: Penny (# 30)

Penny if you feel as terrible as I do then I feel sorry for you. I managed to finally sleep, but upon waking I felt like a truck ran me over. I still have a bad headache. Like you, I refuse to take one more pill. I called the manufacturer and filed a complaint. The FDA is useless so I was only able to leave a message. I notified my pharmacy and left a message for my provider. I need to find out, if I turn the medicine over to my provider, if I can get a new script. I called a different pharmacy and they have TEVA. This is the worst reaction I've ever had to a medication and I still don't feel completely normal. I will never ever take any medicine by them. They have a shotty history. Shame on the FDA, another useless government agency.

Re: Kelly (# 29)

I'm having the same exact negative physical effects and no therapeutic effect at all. I knew it couldn't be just me and I have seen others posting the same. I posted details here in other threads. It's so bad there is no way I can take this and function I will have to do without for the next 3 weeks. I'm prescribed 10 mg, 2x/day.

Re: Mason (# 25)

Agreed. I got it for the first time yesterday. I take only 10mg IR. Well, they must have had their 10 and 30 batches mixed. I didn't feel anything at first, but then a haze came over me and I thought sh*t it's going to make me tired, which happened with Teva a couple of times (please note, the Teva of the last few months has been good). I got home and felt a surge of very nervous, jittery energy. It was very uncomfortable. Then came the typical stimulant bowel evac, followed by shortness of breath, pounding racing heartbeat, and a total panic attack. I later began to calm, but another surge came over me and the symptoms repeated. I also developed a migraine. I have been on the internet for 6 hours posting things nonstop, writing emails. I took the pill at 4pm 6/28. It is now 6:45 am 6/29 and I CANNOT AND HAVE NOT SLEPT. My heart is beating very hard but not racing. My feet have also been sweating? I did a line of methamphetamine once and stayed awake forever. I feel like this was similar with added panic and anxiety and terribly uncomfortable symptoms. I'm calling my provider in a couple of hours and flat out refuse to take another pill. There must be a massive amount of amphetamine in these 10mg pills. I almost went to the ER. I'm filing a complaint with the FDA. You really think India cares about poisoning us?

I now go to Walgreens as they still use Teva. I make sure I ask for the manufacturer BEFORE I let them fill my rx. I'm surprised the FDA still lets them sell it. There are tons of fees and document for bogus meds.

Re: Mason (# 25)

Yup. That's exactly what I'm experiencing. It's been four days now and I'm pushing through. Trying to allow my body to adjust because I need to make them work. Once I get past the initial grogginess in the morning and lack of energy, I am able to move forward and keep going. It is definitely an extreme dose that I'm having to constantly check my pulse. I took soma muscle relaxers the first two nights so I could sleep but it made the cloudy grogginess even worse in the morning. Now day four I'm feeling like my body is adjusting. I'm going to contact my pharmacist so I make sure that I don't get the same batch next month. I will still stick with aurobindo because in my opinion it works amazing for me unlike any other one.

Re: Jesse (# 21)

I got them filled at Kroger. I got fed up because they weren't doing anything. I ended up taking two 20mg IR sublingually and an hour later swallowed two more 20mg IR with some tums.

HOLY CRAP! 6 hours later I had the most horrific, non-stop, 250 bpm panic attack i've ever had in my entire life. Bad, Bad mistake!! Thank god I had prescribes xanax on hand. After taking 2mg of xanax, about 3 hours later I calmed down. I was sure I was a goner. These auro pills are definitely NOT counterfeit. Maybe super-potent with a delayed onset. NOT counterfeit. In hindsight I think I'll stick with caffeine. Maybe get some bronkaid. Amphetamines are nothing to mess with. What a traumatic experience!!

BTW Jesse I got them at Kroger.

Re: ADD56756 (# 10)

Every brand effects someone differently. Aurobindo has always worked amazing for me until this month which I received a horrible batch which has given me nothing but horrible foggy side effects.

I used to get my aurobindo adderal instant release Filled from CVS for years before they stopped carrying it. It has been an amazing medicine. I take the 30 mg round light orange u31 pill twice daily. After they stopped carrying it I've had to have mom-and-pop pharmacies order it in specifically, which has been a hassle. Last month I received a script that was a perfect for the first time in months. I was full of energy, completely alert, and had all the positive effects that adderal is supposed to bring. This month I had to go to a different Pharmacy because the last pharmacist I went to could no longer get any in stock through his vendor. So I found a different Pharmacy on the other side of town that was able to order it in from a different vendor.

Everything about this batch of aurobindo has been horrible. Instead of the usual rush of euphoric energy I typically feel that boosts me into full clarity and a want to conquer the day, I have been hit with nervous jitters, racing heart beat, complete brain fog, paranoia, and zero energy. Which is followed by complete exhaustion. I typically take halves of the medication throughout the day. I tried only taking quarters but still felt the horrible effects. It's stopped my routine dead in my tracks and I'm now trying to figure out how I'm going to get through the month. I had a similar experience three months prior from the 20 ml pills, which were given to me because of the pharmacy didn't have 30 mg in stock. I miss the days of having a consistent supply of my medicine. I've read about aurobindo having these effects on certain people and not being a good medicine for them but It has always worked amazing for me and i never had a problem. I know every brand affects everyone differently but there is definitely something wrong with their batches.

It makes me question now if I should keep trying to get my script filled with or aurobindo or try going back to Teva which I know has been not nearly as effective for me. What is it in this medication that is creating these negative effects? Do you think it's a filler creating these horrible side effects or just a uneven amount of chemicals that weren't mixed correctly in the batch? It would be amazing to find a manufacturer that can supply a consistent batch of adderall that gives me the focus, clarity, and energy boost that my body has been used to for so long. Also which ingredient is it that focuses on the energy boost and clarity that has made adderall such a great medicine? Any input would be great. I'm going to forward this message to whoever else I must in hopes of answers. Aurobindo has always been the perfect generic Adderall for me and I'm hoping to continue using them in hopes that this was just a bad batch. Which generic brand have you found that has given you the most constant results, as well as best positive effects along which I was referring? Thank you for your input.

Re: Myrnamouse (# 13)

Have you always taken Teva brand Adderall? I take aurobindo adderal which has always been amazing for me but this month I received a horrible batch with complete cloudy side effects. I have no energy and my heart rate is through the roof. How is your energy levels and Clarity on Teva? When I first started taking Adderall in 2012 I was prescribed Teva from Walgreens. It was amazing for two years and then started to not work at all. CVS started carrying aurobindo which I switched to and it was amazing. I've tried taking Teva a few times these past couple years but never felt the surge of clarity and energy that aurobindo would bring, so I stayed with them. After this last batch of adderal I'm looking at going back to Teva but have been curious how the effects are on people now? Would you say that you have great levels of energy and Clarity on the new Teva that you are describing? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Re: Mason (# 19)

It's good to see someone getting the positive effects of Aurobindo like I have. Hopefully you will be able to continue getting those effects and your Pharmacy will keep a consistent batch of that brand in for you. Aurobindo has always been the only adderal that has been amazing for me these past 5 years. This month unfortunately I have been hit with a bad batch from aurobindo that has created nothing but negative horrible side effects. It has stopped me dead in my tracks. I'm trying to get to the bottom of it and hope that it was just a bad batch by the company. I'm trying to find out if it's something I can track down and make sure I don't receive the same batch next time I fill my prescription. Where do you receive your script from? I live in Tennessee and it seems every vendor brings in different batches so it's been difficult finding a consistent pharmacy to fill my script from.

Okay so my first time taking Adderall ever happened to be Aurobindo. It was a great experience (but as i've read most peoples first time is). I thought I hit the jackpot. Something that would make me feel that ambitious and focused everyday.

Well, yeah NO. Too good to be true. On the second day of taking my 20mg IR Aurobindo I didn't feel much of anything except drowsiness. So after 4 hours of a little drowsiness, knowing that it was medically safe, I took another. Nothing.

On the 3rd day I could feel something. Can't really describe what. I was up and down. No real clear cut positive result. Seemed like I took an expired 12mg Sudafed.

4th and 5th (today) day, i'm getting more uncomfortable peripheral nervous system stimulation and the complete opposite of "ambition" and focus". I'm lethargic, foggy, confused, and I keep forgetting things.

For example I went to get a water out of the fridge. I put it on the kitchen counter. I went back into the living room and sat on the couch. Oops I left my water in the kitchen. I NEVER do things like that. That's just ONE example of several such incidents.

There seems to be major issues with the TEVA brand as well, as I was reading another thread on here with 30 pages of people talking about how worthless their Teva Adderall is. Is there ANY manufacturer that makes a quality generic of Adderall?

Geez, first time ever taking Adderall and i'm already contemplating asking my doctor to switch me to Vyvanse or Dexedrine because I can't do this. I won't.

When I was younger I took ephedrine a lot, which actually calmed my mind and helped me focus. I explained this to my doctor this morning and, since anti-depressants weren't helping my motivation or focus, he decided that I should try Adderall. This is my first time ever taking pharmaceutical grade amphetamine of any kind.

I've read a lot of negative comments about Aurobindo Adderall prior to picking up my first prescription at the pharmacy today. I could see via the Kroger pharmacy website, that they were going to fill it with the AuroLife U30 20mg amphetamine salts. I was really worried based on all the negative feedback I'd read. Also, I've had Auro Percocet in the past and wasn't overly impressed with that.

I took my 20mg Aurobindo U30 pill @ around 1400 hours (2 p.m.) EST. About a half hour later I could feel it coming on. Sort of that feeling in my head/brain I used to get when I took ephedrine. I was hit with wave after wave of euphoria for about 20 minutes thereafter. From that time up 'til now I feel fantastic (have motivation, feel confident, positive outlook, generally good attitude, reserved energy, no anxiety)! I feel like me again! I feel like I've gotten my life back!!

I'm no shill. I post here all the time. In my opinion this is a quality product. It may not be as effective as others I haven't tried but it definitely works! Now, because of this, I think i'll taper off my Xanax. Once I get past the withdrawals from that i'm confident that Adderall can manage my anxiety/panic. I think it's what i've needed all along.

Bottom line is the Aurobindo U30 20mg generic Adderall worked great for me! We're all different though! I hope you all are able to find some manufacturer that makes you feel alive again as well. Have a great day, night, morning... whatever it is when you read this!

Oh, btw, much like I ALWAYS did with Ephedrine back in the day, I took this on a moderately full stomach.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who has been experiencing issues with this Aurobindo brand of Dextroamphetamine Salts. Normally I feel focused with any other brand but with these I've taken double the dose and if anything, they just give me headaches, dizziness, and confusion. Upon doing research I noticed these are made in India. I'm willing to bet their regulations on manufacturing pharmaceuticals are not as strict as here in the U.S. and it's possible they are cutting corners by using reagents in their manufacturing process that are not approved for use in the U.S.

I'm going to try to get in touch with one of my old professors that works in the Mass Spec lab on campus. I'm planning to save 3 or 4 tablets from various manufacturers over the next couple months. With any luck he'll allow me to analyze the chemical composition of this generic vs. others via NMR spectroscopy. As a scientist I'm curious and perhaps my findings may lead to a logical conclusion as to why this particular generic appears to be exhibiting a deficiency in regards to its efficacy.

Re: Carolyn P (# 3)

Depending on the area in which you live this info may not apply, but I filled my script for 5 years in the Springfield Ma area at CVS. In 2015 we moved to Sarasota Fl and now Walgreens is the only one carrying it around here.

I went to Walgreens on Friday, a few days ago to fill my script of 20mg amphet. salts 3x/day. Well, for the first time ever they were sold out and wouldn't have any until Tuesday. So I decided hey, there's a CVS right down the street. I've taken TEVA for several years and it's worked great for me. So when I got this different brand (Aurobindo, the round pinkish-orange chalk tablets marked U30) from CVS, naturally I just took them as normal and didn't think anything of it... Until about an hour later I finally realize how spaced out I am, just trying not to fall asleep. What's wrong with me? I felt like I'd taken some sort of IQ slashing, sleep-inducing, muscle UNrelaxers. Later on I jammed with my band and it almost felt like I'd lost years of music theory and experience. I could barely keep tempo to save my life, played the most garbage elementary drum beats I've played since elementary school. And I'll be damned if it didn't feel like just completing a sentence was worthy of Olympic gold.

Anyway, I'm not going to spend the next month with my brain on 20% battery in power-saving economy-mode like an iPhone 3Gs running iOS 11. I'm going to talk to my doctor tomorrow; I have a nearly full bottle of useless medication in-hand and my iPad just to show him I'm not the only one.

Aurobindo 20 mg. generic adderall. This stuff is crap. As everyone else has said, it its totally ineffective. Not only ineffective but makes me SLEEPY. All I want to do is sleep. Also makes me jittery, irritable and extremely annoyed that a company like this has contracts with major pharmacies. Tired of hearing that all generics are the same (from doctor). I've doubled daily dosage for a few days and still nothing - other than lethargic. Next time, will check what brand a pharmacy carries before filling.

I had the same experience here in California. I searched for two months until I found a small neighborhood pharmacy that had Sandoz which still wasn't any good. It used to be but something had changed. The next month I got Teva from the same pharmacy and it's perfect! It seems very different than the Teva I had several years ago. One thing I've noticed is that the tablets are darker orange, elliptical and very firm. Aurobindo is crumbly as are other brands that don't seem to work. I try to avoid any meds made in India where I think Aurobindo is made. I was able to turn in the ineffective meds to my doctor and have her write new scripts because she was aware that generics are allowed a 25% variance in effectiveness. I hope this helps.

I too had been doing wonderful on just 10mg of Adderall until CVS filled it with this poison made from a company in India. Aurobindo Pharm has had over 300 of their meds pulled for shady inactive ingredients in most countries outside the US. I have filed a complaint with CVS corporate, as well as the FDA. Hopefully they will take this off the market ASAP. I had dry eyes, stomach pains, nausea, headache and worst of all NO ADD relief on top of making my face, arms and feet go numb. Now I have to go a whole month without my rx. You better believe next time im going to a different pharmacy and asking for the maker beforehand. Hopefully if everyone files a complaint the FDA will investigate. I was told they only need 500 complaints and from all the research I have been doing there are probably more than 500. Makes me sick CVS would rather sell this junk and endanger our lives.
