Best Generic Adderall Brands (Page 22)

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?

Teva has progressively become weaker, now to the point of almost being a sugar pill to me

Teva brand makes my stomach feel funny. Not full on nauseous, more like on the brink of nausea. I've read a lot of reviews, and it seems to affect many people the same way.

Aurobindo - This generic Adderall takes a beating in this forum, but personally I think it is underrated and gets a bad rap. Most don't like it because of where it is manufactured (India). Not sure why that matters so much...but personally...I've used it five months out of the 20 months that I've taken generic Adderall and I would grade it somewhere in the high B+ range. And....considering the generic Adderall choices that are currently available, I say it's as good as all the others, if not better.

For me, I need 30mg of Aurobindo's IR twice a day. Not 20, or 25, or even 35mg...but 30mg each dose. It gives me a nice early come on of pep and motivation. It stays strong for me for a good 5-6 hrs. It gives me a very specific feeling of well being that leads to higher levels of self-confidence and elevated mood. Sometimes it almost feels like a swagger. Only Aurobindo gives that to me and then the focus and ability to stay on task improve. Problem-solving skills are strong with Aurobindo for me. I don't complain of sharp side-effects on it, but I do experience the same side effects on it, as those that come with all the other generics. No more, no less.

It doesn't have a harsh comedown (for me) that makes me want to take a little more hoping the harshness will go away. In my state, almost every CVS carries it exclusively. So....disregard the trash talk about it and give it a try next month. Early in the month, you might need to make a few minor adjustments to your dosage...meaning how many milligrams of it are needed each dose to get you to that place where Adderall "works" for you. I do run into tolerance problems after my 2nd consecutive month taking it and then I'll switch back to Teva...but for me...it is definitely in my generic Adderall rotation.

San Antonio. You can get Teva from Walgreens and all other major stores carry Aurobindo. Some mom & Poo have Mylan. Of course there's always Adderall XR Brand and the Authorized Generic of Brand private labeled for Sandoz and Prasco.
These Aurobindo we're Ok for 3 days and total tolerance took over and you might as well have given me a vitamin. Will entertain Mylan as possibility next month. Took a few that were short on a Corepharma script and we're ok.
Good luck!

Overall, generics fall short of Brand adderall. Just had prescription filled with Aurobindo regular adderall, and first day, it produced better results than brand. No headaches, confusion, or hyperness. Focus was great, and I felt great. Only side affect was getting to sleep late, but I picked up dispenced script at 5pm (its a new script for afternoon booster if needed after morning 30mg IR - brand). Perhaps its just new and this will change - will report back after 30 days - so far, autobindo gets an "A".

Can anyone please explain the difference between oval peach 20mg adderall (b973) vs the round pink cor 136 adderall? I have never taken the peach pill before and my pharmacist forgot to tell me that he gave me a different pill before I left.

Re: Nik (# 427)

The b 973 are made by Teva, the cor 136 are made by Core pharma.

However, the cor 136 are 30mg. The b 973 are 20mg.

I have done tons of research on my generic Amphetamine Salt MFR by Aurobindo. I have had to go to CVS for my RX. I have been sick, tired, nauseous and have not felt any benefits from my meds. It sounds as if this MFR Co is known for its negative results for proper ingredients. I was shocked to see how many people are suffering the same way. So I called my insurance company, CVS Caremark and told them my findings. They actually surprised me with an honest answer and said that patient prefer the MFR Brand: Sandoz. They said I can call CVS a couple days prior to my refill date and request this MFR Co. I can not wait to see if this is the answer I have been waiting for. Fingers crossed.

Re: peter anderson (# 2)

I couldn't agree more I went to a different Pharmacy and I got the Teva. I used to love Teva but after having the Sandoz . Well that speaks for itself so my pharmacist is actually going to order me the Sandoz prescription 3 days before I'm supposed to get mine to make sure she has in stock just for me. Do not do not do not get the manufacturer activas it's carried at Rite Aids and Giant Eagle. This medication has actually been recalled in the past because it does not stand up to pharmaceutical grade potency. Also it can cause you to have serious anxiety and a 30 mg of this one would only be equal to a 10mg of the Sandoz Pharmaceutical. Activas is complete garbage!!!!!

AGREED. It’s very debilitating to function in our fast paced world having ADD but when they start Mixing Sugar, Opioids or Rat poison in with your Orange Round pill from India. You could be on your couch but feel your Jaws Clinching as if you were Poisoned. That’s how I felt yesterday and today when I experienced for the first time AuroBindo. I am unable to function, losing time away from my desk because my eyes are crossed. Pissed is an understatement. WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I know I am. I just called my pharmacy and told them I was marching this Rat Poison back to them. I said I ain’t doin it. No sir. They were very understanding and said no problem. I told them I wanted to take it somewhere who had Tera/BARR. You have to ask your Dr to put that on your prescription or ask your pharmacist to order the brand that works for you and they will. If they have a problem you go to another pharmacy until you find one that complies, you do have to get firm, but remember not to take it out on the pharmacist because they might just decide to shut you out and call the other pharmacies to report to watch out for hot head. No, but in all seriousness stay firm, do what’s best for your body. Everyone is different. Hope you get some sleep. Magnesium is AMAZING. Take it 1 hour before bed and you're golden but make sure if you take it you will get at least 7 or 8 hours or you will be really relaxed upon waking. It also helps with the calming of over speedy pills. God bless, be safe & be kind.

Sandoz is the best. Teva I would put in second place. I only have to put a certain percentage of the medication in the pill. The active ingredient. in Sandoz Pharmaceuticals is known to have the highest ratio

Re: Wendy (# 37)

ME AS WELL BEING FED UP! I am getting ready to head back to the Dr.s and let them know that this formula is NOT WORKING! My eyes feel "like a sharp burn or tingle I cannot describe... My face flushed and my vision is so obscured my motivation is to walk in circles and its happened once before." Walking in circles "like trying to make sure I have everything before leaving the house." No motivation and no mood enhance of "being in the moment." What a waste of my time and life... I WILL JUST ASK FOR NAME BRAND RITALIN NOW! Have some sympathy on the companies, the formulation is a common practice known as compounding!... So, with that being said..."The pharm techs and pharmacists think they can "tweak the med just right so that the negative effects go away." My bladder is now not being different and I am now happy like the happiness I got from the Ritalin I once was used to. The negative effects I used to have subsided and I was able to be more functional. WHAT THE HECK!

Re: Dawnmarie (# 437)

Hi Dawn,
I feel the same way. What do you plan to do now that the Sandoz generic IR is scheduled to be discontinued?

Have you tried any of the other newer generics for Adderall? What did you and didn't you like about them?

Re: Adult adhd (# 436)

My pharmacist said she isn't aware of that happening. But that's okay. I tried all the brands.. LOL! But I would in fact go back to the core Pharmaceuticals ones. They are the round pink ones 136. But seriously worst case scenario if they both got discontinued which is highly unlikely. I would then go have my doctor write me for name brand only!
