Best Generic Adderall Brands (Page 8) (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

My situation was opposite. Hot pink round from Sandoz worked great but the Teva oval orange did nothing.

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

The internet is a handy reference for identifying your generic adderall.

(For me, Sandoz is effective.)

Yes!!! I've experienced horrible side effects!! I wasn't sure if it really was just sandoz... I didn't have any problems while taking Barr ( the oval orange) I switched to Sandoz, that's when I experienced the horrible side effects! Headaches!! Even worse, hair loss!!! Stop taking Sandoz!!! Report side effects to fda!!! Please!!! They need to know how horrible thus brand is!!!

Hi Sid, thank you so much for the advise. Just double checking, you are referring to the 30mg Sandoz IR tablets (not 20 mg) right? By the way I completely understand the intense headaches. The only description I could come up with for the 20mg's (E401's) is an acute increase in focus, quickly followed by an intense brain freeze, which I am hypothesizing is characteristic of neuronal apoptosis. This is no bueno:/

Sid!!! I'm having mega hair shedding too. It started back mid August, I started adderall after a few year break mid June. I was prescribed 20mg XR and 20mg IR a day. My doctir contributed hair loss to a prior stressful event (we moved) and said my body was reacting and it as normal...but it never stopped. I had a lot of hair, super thick and that's prob the only reason that I don't look like I'm balding now.

I've read that the hair loss isn't directly related to adderall but instead to dehydration or a defiency. I saw an integrative health doc hoping she could find something. They tested my thyroid, protein, dehydration, iron and all vitamins...It wAs all normal!

The only time I noticed a decline is when I stopped taking my IR for a week and just the XR/ but it was still happening. Recently I received a new generic and doc bumped me up to 30mg IR back in Sept. I had been on teva but now I have the core ones and I hate them! However I have noticed less hair coming out. One day after washing my hair - I counted 400 hairs out! It's stressful and insane and I'm really thinking it's the adderall.

I recently cut out gluten, dairy and chocolate and have noticed a huge improvement in my add... I cut back on my meds and csnt remember the lady time I took my prescribed dosage of 20 XR and 30 IR in a day...

Have you found a solution? It's so scary!

Oh my gosh!! No, I haven't figured it out yet.. It is sooo scary!! I'm the same as you!! I had a lot of hair too.. I thought the same thing, thinking it had this had something to do with my nutrition, but I'm a healthy eater for the most part.. I admit I don't drink enough water.. Now I make sure to have plenty of water.. I thought about cutting dairy and flour out of my diet.. What brand are you taking? Maybe it has something to do with 30mg? I don't know.. There has to be a link somewhere that we're missing.. I'm wondering now if I have a fungus? I'm not sure still going from dr to dr.. Im determined!! I'm going to figure this out.. Please keep me updated!

I live in Pell city, AL & I just got a script filled of 30 MG & they are pink with cor 136 on them. I came across this post because I normally use Walgreens & get them oval orange ones & I was trying to look up their difference & wondering if there pink ones were as good as they orange. Anyway I used " Pell city pharmacy " ( up by kmart) . I thought u might want to know when I seem bham, al!
Hope this is helpful. Let me know what you think of the pink ones?

Sid - I know we both were experiencing hair loss- I wanted to update you. For the most part, mine has stopped! Thank God! The only things that have changed is that my stress level got reduced a lot, I stopped taking as much adderall (prescribed 20mg xr and 30 mg Ir which I split in half)...now I usually take IR in Am and again around 1pm and skip the xr or on some days I'll take the xr in AM and only half IR in early afternoon. I'm not sure if that is related...also, in Nov I received a diff generic ( that's how I foundcthis post), at first it didn't seem to work as well but toward the end of the month I started realizing that it made my cleaning less ocd like and reduced my anxiety. I find that on the Tevas which I had been taking some June, they worked well but I could feel them kick in, get a rush on most days, was more focused on small things like scrubbing the cabinets- while on core which most ppl on here don't like - I'm more chill and have experienced no headaches at come down- I'm also more apt to reorganize and de clutter a cabinet rather then scrubbing it clean - hope that makes sense, I'm on my phone. My doc says hair loss was due to stress and a hair shedding period - my hair always grew, I didn't have huge bales spots just thinning everywhere. Mine started mid August and has just now finally stopped enough for me not to worry about it all the time. Could be stress or the new generic or cutting down (although some days I take more) .... Just wanted to update you, couldn't remember which generic you were on. I can also say that I argued more with my husband, was terrible at wife duties like cooking, kids would snack nc I was hyper focused on cleaning with the tevas so I'll stick with core for now...sure I don't get a big kick but I like it better bc it's just enough. Good luck, let me know how you are doing.

Ihave been on adderall for a few years and I noticed that its the only medication that cost the same amount no matter if its the 10...20...or 30mg....now I do mean the IR's.. .so if your doctor prescribes you 10's or 20's just tell him to give you the same total amount of Mg's in 30's....it will be less pills and way cheaper.

I know this is almost two years later from when you asked the question but still... Sam's Club carries the Sandoz... at least here on southside of Chicago. Now Costco, lately has had this strange little white pill from Mycroft Labs and the cost for 60 tabs of 30 mg was only 38.99 or something which normally would be a great deal but in this case I think it's just because it's an inferior quality product... I switched after about three months and I now feel them again so just a heads up on the Mycroft..

I absolutely agree with you on taking B Complex. It's pretty good without the Adderall, too!

Thank you so much for the information... I started taking adderall when I was 17 stopped taking it for 6 yrs.. Started taking generics about the year ago.. It's not even comparable now!! Pretty much awful really.. Doctors only prescribe it for narcolepsy? Do you know of anyone that strictly takes it for ADHD/ Add? Any thoughts on how I can get my dr to prescribe it? Thanks again for the info!

I have 50 years of prescription drug use and I swear on everything that is dear to me that Brand name drugs are the purest and best quality. Generic drugs have FILLERS. Fillers can give you unpleasant side effects and minimize the purity of the actual drug. Generic drugs will always be cheaper but YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY for and I would rather go broke on the Brand name than get sick on whatever they add to the generics.

I'm hip... sandos are def more potent than other adderall meds I've tried (all of the 10, 15, 20, &, 30 mg tab brands) & unfortunately... pharma cor brand tabs have an inactive ingredient (which one I am not certain?) that I really dont like makes me super shaky & physical sick, sweats, super tired, ect...that being said... in my opinion sandos absolutely do what I expect them to do....they are more than effective! #thumbsup

Cvs pharmacy is were i go when I want teva/Barr there active incredients IMO don't cause too much stomach issues and taste sweet like candy! Sandoz I feel is a great brand for adults but not kids its really strong and will have your child awake for days! Almost every cvs I've been too carries bar/teva
