Best Generic Adderall Brands (Page 8)

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?

I've been noticing a difference in the Cor 135s for about a year now. I barely made it thru college because of the lessening effects. I was still very forgetful. But this month there is a HUGE drop in the positive effects. I've been using the same small town pharmacy for about 7 yrs and hate to leave but I may have to. However, they're not willing to work with me. The pharmacist says there's nothing different in the meds. What is this generic you're using, and what pharmacies carry it? PLEASE reply! Many Thanks!

What happened with the Aruobindo to you that almost killed you. It is all I have to take now and I can't return it.

I know it is made in India and I don't feel the same as with Teva but I also had a prescription of the Teva in December 2015 that didn't seem to work well at all after taking it for years. This wasn't the first batch of Teva 20mg generic Adderall that I had that wasn't the same as the older ones. It isn't me- I am responsible with my dose and don't abuse the amount. I have been able to use this for years without bad side effects. Only this last year I have noticed a difference in the effect. I have had time off of the medication at times to avoid burnout even.

Agreed. I only use Walgreen's now. I trust the manufacturer's they use. I will not fill any generic drugs sold at CVS, at least not the amphetamine salts.

UPDATE: It's now about a week before my refill and I don't know what to do!!!I've been using Corepharma 136 Adderall for years but this month it's been almost like taking nothing! Everything about it is different....Focus is for a very short time, I'm irritable, no energy, and I've gained 5+ lbs. Upon waking in the am it's as if I've taken a sedative, I feel very groggy. And my libido is 0000!! My husband and kids have even commented on the difference in me. PLEASE??!! ANY ADVICE IS WELCOME!!!

Teva for D-Amphetamine Salt Combo XR 30MG Caps, taken in AM
Barr for D-Amphetamine Salt Combo 10MG Tabs taken mid-day

I was originally prescribed Adderall back before generics came out. Ritilin made me nuts and I couldn't tolerate it. We adjusted the Adderall up and down several times and I saved the left over pills. Last year I came across an entire bottle of 20MG XR (or ER) caps I'd forgotten about (stored in the deep freeze in zip bags). They were still effective , 3 years later - the difference between generics and brand name was very noticeable, just as had known all along (& my doctors had agreed). But by comparison to the manufacturers CVS, Osco and other pharmacies use, Teva and Barr are the best for me. Pills made by the other manufacturers have zero effect on me w/regard to managing ADHD. Some of them give me headaches, diarrhea, anxiety/agitation. I've yet to meet a psychiatrist who disagrees with this: they see a whole lot of patients of all ages and walks of life, we can't *all* be wrong--- it's the fillers. I'll bet my house that the manufacturers skim the active ingredient , just as all drug dealers do, to increase profits.

I saw my internist yesterday. Having developed within a twelve hour period, what I was informed appeared as gout-- my left foot and ankle doubled in size, red, painful, stiff, "hot." Coincidentally (gastric bypass patient), I couldn't fathom why the left foot, "great film/performances" was the only lower extremity effected. I was given a generic immediate release adderall-- I was told it was produced by CorePharma but upon inspection and research that in fact it was Watson Pharmaceutical (Actavis, 'marked' with "half-moon and 26." I could not walk without pain, or steadily from January 8th until January 20th-- although it remains swollen, less painful. My insurance BCBS/NJ Family Care will only pay for generic unless prior-authorization. I filed a complaint with FDA after sending an email to NJ company that makes a generic whose equivalency with adderall is less 20 to 30%. I am convinced that the coincidence is indicative of an allergic reaction. My internist believes it is gout (he wants me to see rheumatologist-- possibly RA); the pharmacist said that it is not unusual for only one part of the body being effected may mitigate against an allergic reaction. "Actavis" has a rather low profile, because of its lack of efficacy for ADHD, and that it may be a catalyst for RA or, severe allergic reactions that 'paralyze' the client because of circumstance cannot afford the brand name Adderall -- Shire patents Adderall and Vyvanse. I think that Shire provides or provided an immediate release generic adderall that is/was well established, effective and responsive to those for whom ER or Extended release medications do not work as advertised because of, in my case, a procedure that removed the duodenum-- the part of the stomach that releases acids, proteins, enzymes, and amino acids NECESSARY to distribute extended release medications. Add to that malabsorption, bioavailability due to a truncated small GI area to store itself for release throughout 10 to 12 hour period. Basic anatomy especially for doctors. But for more than a decade I have had ER/XR medications foisted on me; when I've expressed the lack of effectiveness of any drug, especially, ADHD medications requesting increased dosage, possibly "booster" to ameliorate the obscenely short duration of medications like Vyvanse-- 70 mg would last 4 to 5 hours not 10 to 12. Doctors accused me of drug-seeking. In fact, the dumbing down of any and all education is apparently a pandemic. Medical experts who do not consider the 'evisceration' of the digestive systems integrity due to gastric bypass-- matters not. All any physician or assistant needed to do was look on the internet. Five minutes. Perhaps, a refresher course on Anatomy 101 they took on early Friday mornings, after getting liquored up Thursday night and sleeping through their schooling. I got rid of the adderall because despite pain, the depression, psychological effect is, for me, paralyzing, but I knew I would take the med if I hadn't flushed, now three weeks until I can be prescribed anything to help me focus, or even get out of bed-- I finally had a doctor who looked at my file-- he was filling-in-- and said "Why are you taking medications that are extended release if you had gastric bypass?" Finally ... But, the generic derivative, worked somewhat to alleviate concentration problems but its "inactive" fillers are causing another damning effect. I want to know if Shire still produces immediate release Sandoz/Eon generic; if not, is there a generic that possesses the resemblance, the reasonably kindred nature of Adderall? Or, should we merely resort to finding illicit ways to compensate for the FDA and pharmaceutical companies profitable incompetence. These corporate entities and the agency whose "purpose" and statutory responsibility is to hold themselves and any corporate body to "higher standard?" If I could concentrate, I'd form a malpractice suit. But, how do you get people with ADHD to focus and pursue a just consequence? The 100 meter for people with no sense of direction...

Thanks BostonHolly! I'm sooo struggling! My husband asked me to wash him some underclothes 3x yesterday before I finally got it done! Only then, cause I stopped mid stride and went to the washing machine. Hopefully next script will be better.

My god. I just have to point out that I could hardly follow your writing if anything it seemed to be rambling to the point that maybe you have bipolar disorder and the add medications are not good for that at all. I too have found that different generics effect me in different ways. I don't doubt your story at all but the way you communicated it really seems to show some other communication issues going on that the Adderall may aggravate and make worse.

Don't take the wrong way I too agree the different manufacturers have different formulas but I am looking for input on one in particular myself. Good luck

They do cut off the top for a profit. All fillers. They do not have to have the full amount of the active ingredient in the generic form. Even vitamins are a waste of money. If a vitamin is not in a vegetarian capsule (that you can pull apart and empty kind) then the fillers that make most vitamins huge take away the ENTIRE effect of the vitamin. Your swallowing nothing but junk and zero benefit of any sort of vitamin. Its disgusting what greedy corporate america is allowing the pharmaceuticals to do. But with a little hush money all plays along on the devil's playground! Personally I would switch generics every few months. For me, after a few months the generic version does not give me the same effect. When I switch it up, it is ok again. But everyone is different.

Thank you! I enjoyed you "book". I would like to know if you have the same negative side effects from AdderalI as I do. 1.I find I write "books' too when my Adderall is in full swing but whats worse is I tend to edit,re-edit, edit again until out of desperation to get my point across I gut the whole thing to just several sentences meanwhile 4hrs went by and it should have taken an hr. 2. Along those same lines I over-focus and could spend 4 hrs trying to figure out something very complex and way over my head that a math major or scientist would be better suited for. "poof"there goes 4hrs of my day.
Very alarming is that my memory seems to be getting worse as I am a "scatterbrain" to begin with. I forget appointments, misplace keys, wallet and some things I never find. Even when not taking it the symptoms are still there. Maybe just getting older (48) is the problem. Maybe i'm overreacting but Im afraid it may be causing early onset Alzheimers.IDK. Then there is mood swings when you come off it and it may have led to me being fired for saying something I should not have and possibly losing my GF as I get in these wierd Moods. If you can comment on this that would be great. BTW and FYI I have a far better results when I take it 10 minutes before a meal as it is absorbed slower along with digestion. I take XR 30 Adderall and not generic. Best, eric
