Aurobindo Adderall - I Think Its Counterfeit - Does Not Work (Top voted 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.

Aurobindo Adderall... I can not believe this! I have been feeling like a nutcase, since I received my meds on the 22nd, and all the these posts now confirm my suspicions.. I am LIVID!!!! I CAN NOT live like this for the rest of the month, I WON'T survive! My job is INCREDIBLY demanding, and I'm a single mother of a growing messy boy. I am literally LETHARGIC right now*!!! What to do??? I have already taken twice the normal amount that I would have usually taken in 3 DAYS?!!! Help! Will the pharmacy change it? I seriously can't endure this, for the entire month FML

This horrible medication needs to be taken off the shelves. This is what happened to me.
•migraines
•irritable
•depressed and sad for no reason, just felt down and not happy
•anti-social
•stomach aches
•cluttered mind
•lethargic
•sluggish
This stuff needs to be taken off the shelves. I realized it might be the meds a few weeks in, and I stopped taking them, and I was happy again. Ruined my month and total waste. Scary to know that a med can do reverse damage. Have heard of things like that. But never went through it. Horrible experience.

AuroBindo pha Adderall 30mg is complete crap. Does not work at all. Don't they field test this imported drugs to look for bogus pills coming from India? This is a joke, i have been taking Adderall for years so i know what i am talking about. Make sure to check the name on the bottle before accepting this bunk chalk. You have been warned.

There is something very wrong with this drug. I'd been taking TEVA for years with no problems...taking Aurobindo wrought havoc on my mental health and physical health. My body went numb, and I felt compelled to behave in aberrant manners until I stopped taking it.This drug should be recalled--it's clearly defective.

CVS, what are you doing to us??

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.

I too believe it is counterfeit! Since I was given this brand 2 months ago I feel no positive effect. It simply does nothing but make you go to the bathroom. I am also very suspicious because all of a sudden I can't find any other brand at the pharmacies in my area of California. They must have been MUCH cheaper than the other makers and the buyers took the cheapest generic. I also looked at their "facilities" on Google Earth and they have at least NINE PLACES that are listed as Auribundo, one looks like a house or shed. By comparison there are 2 places in Germany for Sandoz that look like real plants.

I'm starting to think there's no Amphetamine salts in Aurobindo at all. It literally feels like I've taken nothing, even if I double the dose. I feel more focused after a cup of coffee! Something needs to be done about this generic brand soon, because pharmacies around the country are stocking up on it as it's the cheapest brand available to them right now.

I am trying to find out if this generic adderall has worked for anyone else, as I have to get my son his adderall, and I always get him the orange pill by Teva, and I can't find it anywhere. The pink and white don't work, and I really need these for him to be able to go to school and focus. I need mine too, but he comes first.

I get it!! Exactly the same dilemma! My husband picked up my monthly prescription for 30mg 3 times daily! I was sick when I saw the color cause I know from past experience it does not work! I have taken 3 at one time and fell asleep during the day! I called and asked but naturally the pharmacy could not take a return! I have driven out of town to get the pink version! It's frustrating! And the prices vary! It was explained to me that generic drugs are like meat! The cuts vary significantly 'grade A-' and that's why the cost is cheaper! I am sick of this bulls***! I have 29 consistent years of sobriety! Not in PA, southern Ohio, been here for four years! I got fired from a drug store, red flagged in the health system and cannot go to the Dr. of my choice! All from an eager beaver clerk st cvs that was dead wrong! Bulls***! Southern Ohio sucks! I literally hate it here!

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.

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: ADD56756 (# 10)

I finally found one that works! It's by Teva. Now I know that there have been problems with Teva in the past. This one looks different than the past. It's a bit darker orange and is oval shaped but with a slight football shape to it. It is also not crumbly. The tablet is firm and "tight". Good luck!

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.

TEVA is real. AUROBINDO is definitely bunk from India. This f***in bulls*** is gonna get me kicked out of my doctor's office for having to almost triple my dosage just to feel tired and like s*** the whole 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?

Please help! Weird generic adderall filled at CVS today. 20mg tablet

This is a HUGE concern for me as I just filled my prescription today (9/8/2014) at CVS and found your post after googling what the difference is as they look completely different as they often do with generics, but I've NEVER seen them look like this nor look so chalky. I haven't taken one yet so I do not know if it will have the same results as my previous ones which were all TEVA pharm also. Did you speak with CVS about your findings with this new pharm company? I would really appreciate knowing what they had to say if you don't mind. Thank you in advance.

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 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: Bunsen Honeydew (# 18)

I'm sure you know Aurobindo was taken off the US market by the FDA from 2006-2013 because of active ingredients 50% or less and contaminants.

Hello, Amy! How are you? I'm sorry to hear about the problems you've had.

What type of stomach problem have you had?

Does it not work for you, at all?

More details may help someone else. Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you!
