Best Generic Adderall Brands (Page 3)
(Newest replies 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?

Also hit/miss in my experience. Weird. Amazing how Manufacturers are getting away with fraud. When they get caught they get warning letters and a slap on the wrist by the FDA.

Insanity.

The ingredients are all available on the manufacturers Website, and online via the bottle label. And the Orange Book. It's easily accessible.

Examples

Zyidus
silicon dioxide, compressible sugar, microcrystalline cellulose, corn starch, and magnesium stearate.

The 5 mg, 7.5 mg and 10 mg also contain FD&C Blue #1 Aluminum Lake.

The 12.5 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg and 30 mg also contain FD&C Yellow #6 Aluminum Lake.

MALLINKRODT
MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE (UNII: OP1R32D61U)
SILICON DIOXIDE (UNII: ETJ7Z6XBU4)
POVIDONE,
STEARIC ACID (UNII: 4ELV7Z65AP)

The reports coming out in various pharma journals are 100s of meds are ALL off because several research oversight companies CROs in India were cooking the books. Check endpoints news article 5/20/22.

I just got Rhodes recently. Not sure, seems ok. They're all seeming half as potent. Seems like everyone online is posting dissatisfaction vs 10 yrs ago

Re: Tom (# 696)

Opposite experience. Auro is crap. TEVA actually manufacturers real Adderall Brand so their generic is actually identical to the expensive Brand name script

Teva and Aurobindo are two bad generics but they’re bad in a different way. Aurobindo has a bad and angry mood effect, but it actually works, but the side effects were so bad I switched pharmacies. Teva is like taking a sugar pill, and I’m really not convinced that it’s not one. I went back to Aurobindo for a month and it was night and day. Mallinckrodt XR has a bad mood effect as well but not as dramatic. Never had a problem with any other brand. Been taking over 20 years

The only one I'm finding to be even somewhat effective right now is Teva. I'm taking the 30mg generic IR form. Zydus and Sandoz have zero noticeable affect for me.

Re: Info (# 693)

I was given Teva 30 mg. this month (3/2022) after using a different one for a few years. Teva used to be very effective and smooth; now I am nervous, anxious and unmotivated with it. They have changed it for the much worse.

Re: Carol7215 (# 692)

Teva are known for being hit or miss. Lately, Teva has the worst Adderall of all the generics. A 30mg feels like 5mg. This is as of March 2022.

Re: James (# 691)

It's good to be able to exchange information with other folks on a forum. If not for message boards or forums - I would have questioned my own experiences.

Today my pharmacist called to discuss Teva being tapped out for now. It's not the right terminology but that's where she was getting my Adderall. It had been working. It was interesting how tentative she was over the phone - almost as if I'd raise cane about the whole swap-out of generic Adderall. Perhaps the pharmacist is aware of differences even though folks swear generics all have the same active ingredient.

Well, it's the fillers apparently that gave me headaches and nausea during the last Adderall drought. So I brought them home and can't read the tiny print and will have to use a magnifying glass late. Took 1 tablet about 15 minutes ago ---- in my before life, I'd question whether or not the Adderall was working even though I still felt like the same space cadet unmedicated. Now if this tablet is a dud - I plan to contact my psychiatrist and the pharmacist to report in detail the effects or non-effects if that's the case. I will not take sugar pills for 30 days until the next round. I would love to take some kind of action against pharmaceutical companies that churn out crap. Ok rant over ... we'll see what happens next.

Although Teva can be “hit or miss” out of all Adderall IR generics I have tried,
Teva is the best.

Avoid Mallinckrodt at all costs!!

TEVA Adderall ONLY!!!!! (Orange oval football shape)...The absolute best ingredient. I’ve taken Adderall for over 25 years. I consider myself an expert in knowing variations of different Adderall.......DO NOT let any physician or pharmacist tell you the lie that “all Adderall is the same”...because it is NOT! There is only one adderall made of good quality which is made in Israel by TEVA Pharmaceuticals. The rest of the junk like Alvogen, Lannett, Sun Pharmaceuticals are all made with low grade generic fillers from China and a India. Refuse this junk fillers. Demand your rights!!!

You have the legal right to refuse junk from Asia and demand TEVA and if your pharmacy is out it’s because it’s the best! Take your script to a pharmacy or call around to your local pharmacies to find out who sells TEVA. Until recently Walmart had the TEVA contract but they lost it trying to save a penny. However, Walgreens now has it and maybe some other local pharmacies. It’s worth waiting for TEVA as there are no comparisons between TEVA and the low quality of these other off brands and many thousands of patients have written these companies complaining. Write the FDA a complaint was well because the junk from China does not work.. Need more proof?? Refer to the thousands upon thousands of complaints on Reddit about how TEVA is the only Adderall that works. It will blow your mind. My advice is do not accept the crap from China and India. If it does come from Europe/Israel leave it with the pharmacist and find you a new pharmacist.

Alvogen and other generics make me sick because it taste like what I assume rat poison would taste like, accept TEVA Only. It’s in big demand for one reason because it works! No, I do not work for TEVA and have no connection with the company. This is my tried and true opinion over a 25 year period... I’m just sick and tired of these lying physicians and pharmacist telling me “they are all the same”. Hell no they not! If they were then we would only need one name brand, right? Demand TEVA Adderall as it makes all the difference trust me. It’s worth your time to locate a pharmacist in your area that offers this quality drug. Google the TEVA difference and read the complaints for yourself.

Re: Sid (# 46)

No; the “E404”’s are Sandoz pharmaceuticals’, labeled/repackaged Eon labs’ generic 30mg Adderall IR and the “b974”’s are Teva/Barr’s version of the same medication and same dosage; different pharmaceutical manufacturers.

I am trying to find current info but can't believe the amount of people who have opposite reactions than me but then i'm wondering if very recent changes have made the results inconsistant. I basically can't handle anthing but 30MG teva IR. I used to have to take 3 a day for years (prob when all the complaints were coming in on them but i had no idea but like 2011-2014 but after that i was able to cut down to 2 pills a day after soooooooo many years which was like amazing. I finally found a good pharmacy and i communicated everything so i never ended up screwed without a day of medicine that would highly screw up my work and life without and then bam. My only covered pharm (during covid) gives me these apparently beloved "sandoz" crap, literal garbage. not worth the damage done to my insides taking those. Worked for a 30 min time frame then made me studder but coulond't even relax or focus, sat tapping staring into a wall...or passing out and super slow. FIRE HEAT TREMMORS in legs at night. Screwed my entire body chem up. I just refilled payed full price opted to get teva from a mom'n pop but hope to god they dont end up being a bad batch or whatever...I mean i tried to do my homework and called teva even about the unreported FDA info lol like i did but i am lost still if this bottle is gonna be s*** or not. Does it matter if the imprints are not all same side? Like one side is 30 and other is b 974 but sometimes upside down on opposite side and other times right side up. This could be nothing.

I have tried just about all Adderall IR generics.

While TEVA can be “hit or miss” in my opinion,
it is more potent and efficacious than other generics.

One word of caution:

AVOID Mallinkrodt...at all costs!!

There is something profoundly wrong with their product.

You will find similar opinions all over the internet..

Freddy (# 629) --

You seem to metabolize the generics the same way I do. This Sandoz discontinuation and CorePharma no longer manufacturing, leaving no other therapeutic options. Any of the orange oval generics have absolutely NO EFFECT on me and the white Mallinkrodt, is a joke. I have no idea how these products are passing or what guidelines and regulations are in place. I don't know what to do. I called a representative from Epic today, this is who has bought out CorePharma and he said they are hoping to be releasing 30mg in May but it is still nothing definitive. Something due to the FDA and some other Class II regulations. Its unbelievable.

Re: NURSEwithADDandFIBROMYALGIA (# 5)

I also have fibromyalgia. I have been taking Adderall and I do the same. Wake up and take one and fall back to sleep. I then awake feeling like I’m halfway normal, instead of the horrible sluggish feeling that weighs me down to the point of depression. The Adderall helps me to focus on something besides my pain, so it also works as an antidepressant for me. I was hit head-on by a semi truck 8 years ago so have many other pain issues as well. Last May I had the flu and stopped taking my pain pills because I would just throw them up. I went in for my appointment and they took a U/A and since they found only a very small amount they shut me off and no longer would they see me as their patient. Not even for the shot in my back. Since my psychiatrist gives me Adderall and Vyvanse it is impossible to find a pain dr that will prescribe pain medicine. I have tried many different varieties of Adderall from different manufacturers. For me, the ‘corr‘ round pink worked the best. Can’t find them anywhere. So I will see if my pharmacist will help and order them. Thank you for your post!!

Re: MLR (# 679)

So these aren't causing you any migraines, or nausea or other bad side effects? When I looked up Mallinkrodt Adderall this seemed to be the consensus on other forums. The side effects were flu-like symtoms for many. It's good to know there is some positive because my pharmacy knows how I am about particular brands and warned me they only had these available when I get my next refill :(
