Best Generic Adderall Brands (Page 20) (Top voted first)

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?

REPORT

I have been taking 30 mg Sandoz or Teva for years. They work great. The Aurobindo and Camber are sugar pills and should not be on the market. It is a joke, they even are allowed to be sold. Refuse them. 1st off...Call before your prescription is sent and confirm what is in stock. If not I suggest calling the smaller or individually owned pharmacies.. not the big boys. They are facing the same challenges.

Re: mr football (# 714)

I was given post-shortage Teva on July 25th. They are not good but not as bad as Camber.
I did well on Lannett all of 2021. I haven't found any this year except at an independent who is not taking new Adderall patients due to DEA dispensing limits in FL
There are 4 independent pharmacies within 2 miles of my house. None will fill my Adderall even though I have filled scripts at 2 of them over the past 20 years I went to Walgreens for drive through at start of covid. It seems I am stuck there until something changes. I haven't seen Sandoz, but I took the brand name until 2019, so that could be the reason.

Yes, agreed. So, far Camber is the best if you cannot get brand. Drink lots of water and take it on time, early in the am every day as there will be an adjustment - dry mouth, etc.

I had the same thing happen to me with the camber pill, but I took 60mg!!! In no world does 60mg of real amphetamine put you to sleep. It's Garbage.

Re: Jake Y (# 717)

All I get is Teva , kind of a sweet aftertaste. The best to me anyway. I just picked up my script today 30mgs.

Some people think they’re getting teva but they’re getting lannett. First eye they’re identical. But instead of b stamp like teva lannett has e stamp and they suck according to an associate of mine. He threw them in the trash and got another refill somehow. Teva and sandoz from my experience are best generic out there.

Re: Foxx (# 724)

What are the "long term effects thereof" of Vyvanse you're referring to?

There are methods to test your hypothesis about formula changes. Urine samples check and confirm the level of amphetamine in your urine. Some Doctors use this to ensure patients aren't selling their meds if their is suspicion. The other thing is ph. The More acidic your system the LESS amphetamine will be in your bloodstream and you pee out the meds. Oftentimes the meds haven't changed, but the person's body ph level has changed (diet or whatever). That's why many meds say "no grapefruit" (acidic) and "no antacids" (alkaline). Taking Tums with Adderall will make it seem more effective, generally speaking.

The other way is to increase your dosage by 5mg.

Re: Cyr (# 716)

I am here in FL as well. Ever since COVID things are ridiculous with adderall. I had to switch to a local small pharmacy (thank God I did immediately when this crap started) but they seem to be giving me a different brand every month. In a way it's not horrible because it is keeping my body from becoming tolerant to one kind. I had the pink ones last month and I honestly liked how I felt. I just picked them up for this month and had never seen this pill before but after googling it and looking at the bottle it says Sandoz, but I swear the last time I got this brand they looked different. I don't even know anymore. I just know that COVID screwed all of us who have been on this medication most of our lives. All it took was for someone to call a teledoctor and say I can't focus and I'm anxious and BOOM everyone in the US is now self diagnosed as ADHD. For someone who has struggled their entire life this is insulting. These people have no idea the struggles real people have dealt with and because of them now we struggle to even get our prescriptions filled. I know alot of pharmacies aren't taking new patients, especially from teledocs, and I can understand that, but at the same time they can look at your history. I believe that people who have been prescribed this medication for longer should have priority. There is a reason we didn't just appear during 2020, we've been struggling our whole lives. Yes COVID sucked for everyone, but there is a big difference from having ADD & ADHD and not being able to focus because of daily life. Sorry about my rant. I used to think the oval Teva, I think, was the best. I know the round yellow ones are horrible. I had a migraine all month. The pink ones were good but now that I think about it I could go to sleep right after taking it, but then been focused later. I guess I will see how these work.

All generics have different formulations of inactive ingredients. Here are two examples made from same pharmaceutical company Lannett.

Lannett Pharma makes Pill 30lci that taste bitter:
[1] https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/fda/fdaDrugXsl.cfm?setid=f92497b5-baea-4760-b615-45a0b6184402

Lannett makes a different formulation of inactive ingredients and distributes it to Elite Pharma Pill E306 that taste sweet like name brand Adderall

The 1st bitter one works poorly with me.

The 2nd sweet one works perfect for me.

Re: T (# 735)

Not only that but generic medication is legally allowed to vary up to 20% from the namebrand, either stronger or weaker.

And they compare each generic to the namebrand, not to each other. So one may be 20% stronger than it is supposed to be, and another could be 20% weaker, which would be a huge difference in efficacy between the two.

Re: Chrissyboi (# 733)

This isn’t true at all, they use different fillers or inactive ingredients.

Furthermore they are legally Allowed to very up to 20% in strength from the namebrand either stronger or weaker

The only thing identical about generics and regular medication Is the actual active ingredient, but the amount of that ingredient isn’t even identical.

Oh I wish, no ma’am they don’t go and list every single rare side effect that everyone experiences by law. That’s not actually how it works I wish

Re: Chrissyboi (# 731)

Back in the 80s they decided that generic medication could vary up to 20% from the namebrand in strength and it’s fine. It doesn’t even have to be the same same batch to batch. So one month you may get the same exact generic medication that is up to 20% stronger or weaker than you got last month because they can

I think Alprazolam (xanax) is the best anti-anxiety medication. Clonazepam is an anxiolytic but is also an anti convulsant....it helps to prevent seizures. If your problem is just anxiety, why add 'anti-seizure' to the mix? (JMHO - I'm not a nurse/doctor/etc...just a patient)
