Best Generic Adderall Brands (Page 9) (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

Teva/Barr is the most consistent brand.

Mallinckodt is horrible...avoid this.

Adderall is not like any other central nervous system stimulant! It's properties are really similar to methamphetamine but in our case it's a clean pharmaceutical grade version of it! What adderall does is it forces your body to release dopamine everytime you take the pill and it blocks the reuptake of dopamine! Because your body is now depending on adderall to release these feel good hormones it forgets how to do it! If you truly have adhd or add and are not using the drugs for recreational use or energy then you would now kids or adults with adhd/add don't have the ability to release dopamine! So when you give an adhd/add kid this drug he will become quiet and calm because he feels great doing whatever he's doing compared to before. I've been taking adderall for a very long time and have done lots of research of the drug! When I say lots I mean literally almost a years worth! I've researched all the different brands their history their qualifications how adderall changes your brain chemistry, anxiety issues, so if you have any questions on it just ask! It's helped me a lot with my ADD made me love life!

You should have just told the troublesome pharmacy to transfer the RX to another (named) pharmacy, then gone to the new pharmacy and instructed them to call the pharmacy holding your prescription and given them the phone number to call, the new pharmacy will call them and ask them to transfer your prescription over to them. That is something they can't refuse, by law.

Hi I've been on adderall IR 30mg for 5 years. The pink sandoz round and the orange football teva I believe work the best or same. Ur body develops tolerance to each one so What I do is switch up my pharmacy every few months, CVS for teva next month Walgreen's for sandoz. There are 2 other generic brands that are absolutely horrible do not take. These brands are actvias and corapharm. Round orange and they shouldn't be in pharamacys. Stick with sandoz and teva. When u switch you will like the pink ones, then go back to teva. But absolutely check to make sure ur pharamacys has only these 2 generics because the other generics are horrible and nasty side affects. I'm in the state of Pennsylvania outside Philly and u got to call around to see what brand they have. It's a common question don't feel Werid asking. I hope this helps.

Activis is horrible, I don't think there is any active ingredient in them or the fillers counteract whatever active ingrediant is in the pills. CVS only uses Activis, Osco too.

I've just been prescribed Adderall for ADD, I was given the 30mg IR sandoz pills and told to break them to 7.5, to start. Fine, but after reading these posts about the different brands and different manufacturers I'm confused, even more if I am prescribed the "right" pills. Simply put, what are the best overall Addie's on the market, regardless of price.

I have tried all generic brands of Adderall and Sandoz is the only one that is effective. I take 20 mg dose of 4 per day. I have found only one pharmacy that sells Sandoz & have to pay $130.00 for 90 pills. My insurance has a limit on the amount of pills they will pay for.

I have been on the Barr/Teva for years. My pharmacy just switched to a round pinkish pill... not sure which brand but it's awful. Nice to know I can request the brand that works. I'm feeling sedated with these.

I have been getting a generic adderall XR 20mg from a local pharmacy family owned. Do to emergency I had my husband pick up my script from CVS. The pills were blue Blue capsules, when I usually had burnt orange color red capsules. I have taken the blue on for 3 days now and have gotten a headache in the evening for 2 days now. I am looking for the company name on the RX bottle. It is not on there. I hate taking this but it makes a world of difference with work life. Do not buy CVS, the generic drugs are just not the same. I will be reporting this to the FDA if that does any good. I have tried to take this med just Monday thru Friday but I just sleep the whole weekend. I feel awful and can't wait to get off this stuff hoping to find something else!

well for what my opinions worth.... ive been prescribed Adderall for over a year....and I'm currently taking 30mg twice a day...oddly I've never tried sandoz brand...

started with orange round AURO BINDO first ever seemed great now who knows...

then pink cor pharma...energy up. motivation up, worked best...

now I've been suffering with orange oval teva football shaped. completely different then the pink ones without question..

I've done so much research on this whole generic topic it makes me sick... constantly ive must of searched everywhere.... nothing's the same, just some consistency in info...

some say fillers effect folks differently but further discovery claims only affecting folks with sensitivities to meds.

I have read a ton of stuff an every thing concerning sandoz brand is always the most preferred brand through out the years up till 2016....teva has changed its formula as I'm sure they all do, but the amount of info on sandoz brand they have been the most consistent. as a person with similar problems, I would highly recommend trying a few things...

don't wait on a stupid Pharmacy to get an order in. most don't give a flying s*** about a patient an their needs anyway, contact every pharmacy in your reach requesting an order of this brand as it's the only one working.... and/or speak with ur doctor immediately. I also understand being afraid of bringing up the topic of generics being completely inconsistent because I've argued with pharmacy techs when they tried saying they're all the same....(my ass).

when I got stuck with teva from cor pharma, I basically had no option till next script as I already filled it, so increasing absorption rate did helped a bit....(taking 3 tablets of Antacid Calcium Supplement 1,000mg about 10-15 mins before dose as it eliminates acid in the stomach increasing the % actually absorbed).

yes, for a brand that is effective this could be unnecessary, but when it's highly ineffective and there's no returns gotta do what ya gotta do.

call multi-pharms for sandoz brand, I hope this post helped even 1 of you. I apologize for lacking much help.

-chin up, never give up!

Massachusettes, walgreens has the teva brand (b973 20), rite aid has the corepharma (pink tablets cor 135 meaning 20mg and cor 136 meaning 30mg), and cvs has mylan (orange tablets printed with AD 20). If we go back 4 months ago, the best generic adderall was teva which is offered by walgreens (luckily I still have few left from that time they worked great). However as of november 17, 2016 the best generic adderall is the pink tablets manufactured by corepharma and is found in rite aid pharmacy. Do not buy teva or mylan!!! You will get screwed and have to wait for another month to get the prescription... Even if you tell your doctor that they don't work he wont give you another prescription and will tell you to wait another month! The teva footballs (b973 20) now are nothing compared to the same ones that were offered in walgreens 4 months ago. Hope this helps!

Ps: The teva tablets issued 4 months ago are better than the corepharma pink tablets now.

@Kirk. Don't give up hope. Ever. I know how hard life is sometimes, but giving into despair always makes it worse. It's tough, but try and keep a positive attitude. Drink lots if water and eat healthy. Hang in there.

I have been taking the pink round 20 mg three times daily. At first they worked wonderfully for me but it seems that my body is not metabolizing them the same way anymore. I'm not sure what brand they are and there is no marking on one side, on the other it is scored into four sections. I get these at Kroger and was wondering if anyone had a definite brand that they suggest from any pharmacy, does not matter which one.

Hi Melody,
I had the same problem as you do as far as narcolepsy certain hours of the day, but all day when it's overcast and grey sky.
Anyhow, I think for me anyways, (I also take 60mg a day) that being on a medication like adderall for so long, I have found the tolerance problem to be a real one. Taking breaks when from the medication is the best way in my opinion and experience is the best method to fight it and so it's not a constant problem. I stopped for a whole month and that's about how long it took me to start bouncing back from sleeping all the time enough to where I flipped my horrible graveyard hours of being wide awake to waking up earlier like in the morning like 80% of the rest of those in the same time zone lol

that's just my two cents anyhow.
BTW I have been on and off adderall since 1997

I'm with you on the corepharma pink 20 mg they are great! I can't find them either. Pharmacist said they were discontinued, but not according to the corepharma website it is still a product they manufacture. I wish the manufacturers had a product locator.
