Is the round pink 30 mg Adderall generic name Sandoz/Eon with the markings of CDR 136 on one side more or less effective than the oval orange 30 mg Adderall generic name Barr/Teva with the markings of b974 on one side and 30 on the other side? What is the most effective/potent Adderall that is generic and 30 mg?

Thank you for the link to this information. I'm going back to my doctor to request the brand name Adderall IR since this latest prescription was filled with the Mallinckbrodt generic which makes the Teva generic seem like a dream in comparison. I'll take Teva any day over Mallinckbrodt. Its so ineffective that its scary.

I don't think I could have said it any better! I live In MA and In August when I found out corpharma discontinued their IR tablets I was devastated. I have been on this medication my whole life and for the last 5 years solid this has been my go to brand. However I have a feeling they will reintroduce it again soon. My brother works at a local pharmacy and he says this happens often. If people would just stop complaining about things they didn't like and stuck with the things they did like we wouldn't be seeing this problem. If you don't like it go to a different store get a different brand don't rag on other brands because there are people out there that rely on their medication to get through the day.

Generic Sandoz has lactose monohydrate in it and makes my stomach hurt badly. So I do not recommend Sandoz. I can hardly believe there is no longer a decent maker of a brand name Adderall IR. That is ridiculous. What are ADHD patients supposed to do? I don't want to be on Adderall XR.

Hi. Just picked up my new Adderall Brand 30 mg from my Doc today. Decided to stick with the Brand.

I had a 10 day Holiday -and that 1st dose today put me in the best mood it was awesome. In addition, caught up on some work that had been slacking.

We all know that Teva/Barr make both the generic and brand. We all know both formulas have been jacked around by Big Pharma but there really is no comparison to the generic and brand. The brand is far superior in its binders and fillers and is not speedy like the generic. It works.

Unfortunately, my insurance does not cover it all but the $100 bucks I have been spending each month on the co-pay -hurts a tad but is well worth my health.

It's not overly strong but gives no headaches or other side effects except the normal appetite suppression and slight dry mouth.

I've tried them all and will be sticking to this and stop playing the monthly July hoop...

To clarify, I am not a Dr nor actively marketing Teva Brand. It works for me but the cost may be prohibitive and that's a shame as we are running out of options!

Good luck!

I know it's been awhile but something you said caught my eye about Adderall not having L-amphetamine because it does. The 2 amphetamines (aspartate monohydrate and suleate) both metabolize into 12.5% Levoamp and 12.5% detroamp...which added together, that's 25% Levoamp and 75% dextro.

This might not even be relevant anymore or easily accessible info but I probably didn't go to bed soon enough after I took my Ambien, so I think I liked doing the math and feeling all smart. lol night

Thanks. Ya I’ve been making a habit to call each pharmacy ahead of time to see what brand they carry. Just got a new script from my shrink yesterday. Walmart and CVS all typically carry the Barr/Teva while every single Rite Aide and most everywhere else is buying up this Aurobindo trash. Tell ya what, core pharma really shook up the industry by discontinuing. I’m starting to think there may be a conspiracy going on. Because of this whole opioid epidemic bs docs and the fda are petrified of all controlled medications at the moment. When it comes to stimulants, I’ve noticed that many docs have been gradually switching to the vigils or XR versions for less abuse potential. That being said, I find it odd that we lose two perennial powerhouse generic IR manufacturers of adderall (Core and Sandoz) within only a few months of each other. Leaving us with only trash Aurobindo or the hit and miss (depending on the person) Barr/Teva. Perhaps if enough people start having too many cough cough “adverse side effects,” to mixed amphetamine salts than they will have enough evidence to pull IR versions for good. Idk, just something I’ve been turning over in my mind a while. All I know is that what that the awful side effects I experienced with Aurobindo was not placebo affect. These generic manufacturers only have to demonstrate that their drug is within 25% bioequivalency of the brand name to be approved. To make matters worse, all these bioequivalency evaluations are carried about by the pharmaceutical companies themselves....talk about conflict of interest? Even on top of that, companies like Aurobindo manufacturer many of their medications over seas in India. Lmao, how much oversight from the FDA do you think they realistically have all the way over there in third world India? Not only that, they have poor infrastructure which makes me question the competency of their factory workers and high corruption which makes me question whether they have shadily manufactured a dangerous product with cheap fillers to save a buck. Ya, that crap's not going in my body and I’d advise everyone, for the sake of your health and peace of mind, stay away from Aurobindo Adderall. Furthermore, file a complaint with your pharmacist and the FDA. Sooner or later something has to be done about this. I feel completely taken advantage of by this bs shady company from India. In fact, the FDA recently served them warning letters about the quality of several of their factories in India.
