Camber Adderall Complaints (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Camber's new generic for Adderall IR 15mg is no good. Prior to it I got 10mg Adderall from CVS and it worked great! Just got a fill from Kroger since CVS was out of stock. The brand is from Camber and not only does it not work, it makes me feel unwell, sleepy and super irritated. It’s crazy how companies are able to differentiate in their generics like they do. This Camber brand just makes me want to go to sleep but I feel so unwell it’s hard to. I can’t focus at all on anything but how sick I feel. Don’t take this new stuff people and if you have what did you think?

Re: MALEX (# 85)

requesting a dif manufacturer is all well and good...except we are in the middle of a national shortage of not only 1 manufacturer, which we with ADHD prefer, but several others now as well. You sound so "high and mighty" in your reply.
Look to the medication Concerta...some of the generics are NOT the same as the name brand due to the release mechanism which is patented by the name brand, therefore, the generic's release of the medication is NOT the same/is not equivalent.

Exact same problem. I am so pissed off. I had to fill Camber brand Adderall 15 mg 4x a day because I normally take 30 mg 2x a day and this crap is all they had. This generic brand has made me unbelievably sick. 24/7 horrible headache, diarrhea, awful stomach pain, horrible anxiety, so restless so exhausted but can’t sleep. My insides are crawling. My chest hurts. My body hurts. I feel like getting a lawyer a suing them. This past month has been hell because of this medication. How, how, how did this medication get released to the public?! I didn’t know what was wrong with me. I had no clue it was this new brand of medication until reading the unbelievable amount of reviews on it from people having the exact same issues.

I received Camber 10 mg generic adderall from my pharmacy this past month (August 2022). It was horrible, headaches, extreme fatigue, upset stomach and sores popped up everywhere. I had previously taken generic adderall (prior to my past two pregnancies) to help with my inattentive ADD. I was diagnosed in college after having to withdrawal from many of my classes due to test scores. I was always a poor test performer, but in high school my homework scores made up for it. I would stay up late every night weeks before a test to study (we are talking up until 3 am) with the same result. I also had a hard time with reading comprehension, even failing the first grade. As an adult, I rely on medication while working in my professional career to stay on task, wrap things up and plan ahead. It calms the noise and allows me to problem solve rather than feel overwhelmed and procrastinate. The previous generic helped me with this and was a life saver. It made me function as a normal individual (not over perform just perform without the extraordinary extra effort I had previously required). I never felt the medication, but I could tell it was working by the calmness and focus. Camber’s generic does nothing for me, there are no benefits and many issues. It makes me agitated, dries my skin out, gives me headaches, makes my stomach hurt, makes me sweat, has caused sores to pop up and makes me extremely sleepy. I have asked for the brand name moving forward and would recommend that to others as well.

I take this medication for narcolepsy which is severe. When I was given Adderall made by Camber, I actually fell asleep… No joke, and this is never happened to me before. I filed a formal complaint on the FDA webpage, and if you have had a similar experience you should as well

Re: mmmac (# 100)

So sorry you’ve had such difficulty. Seems generic adderall has been problematic for quite some time. I haven’t taken it for about a year and half because I was getting heart palpitations from it. So, I asked my doctor for an alternative. He prescribed Vyvanse at 30 mg/day to start. I’ve worked my way up to 50mgs/day and this dosage seems right for me. Maybe Vyvanse is something you and your doctor could consider. It’s definitely not the same as Adderall. But, my attention is better with it than without so, I’m grateful for this alternative. Good luck!!

I’m in the same hell as the rest of you. It seems like the longer I’ve taken it, the worse it’s affected me. When I went for a refill after the unpleasant first month of the Camber (also wasn’t told it was different by pharmacist), I requested a different brand because of the adverse everything caused by the Cambers.

Walgreens told me to pound sand, which doesn’t matter anymore because they no longer will fill Adderall after the lawsuit settled in August.
I was so relieved when I found out it would need to be filled at an independent pharmacy! They didn’t accept my insurance but I was fine with paying because I sincerely believed they would have something else. Got home, opened bottle, same Camber crap as Walgreens. Of course, it will be another month before I can beg them to not give me that.

Nauseous all day, every day, falling asleep, walking around in circles, etc. I haven’t even been able to finish unpacking and settling after moving 7 months ago! My boyfriend thinks I don’t care or aren’t interested in anything he says and I’m so distracted by everything.

And the vision thing. I haven’t been able to find an explanation for it, as my vision was 20/10 when last tested a year ago.

I’ve tried various dosages and changing the schedule. Nothing. English degree yet I’m having difficulty composing this.

This is not a recreational situation - I’m 50yo cursed with idiopathic hypersomnia and ADHD.This is real for most of us. People don’t search the internet for hours looking for opportunities to sing the praises of a prescription medication which is making serious people ill.

Re: Diego (# 31)

Did you have covid? Seems like everyone is having problems with literally every adderall medication after Covid… it’s hit or miss for me. Usually none work anymore and I can’t get my brain to focus on 1 thing for over 5 minutes. It’s horrible and really screwing up my life. Also after Covid my quality of life been Way down and doctors and family suggest I have ‘long-term covid’.

That’s why I’m wondering if that is what’s causing the medications not to work.

So I usually get Lannett generic brand but the Walgreens my doctor sent it to only had Camber. So the took 15mg and literally was able to take a nap on it LOL. But now I took two 15 mg that made it like a 30 mg pill and it work perfectly. I really don't have any complaints. So far it has been 3 hours and it is working just like the Lannett generic brand. So see if you just take a little more that want is prescribed and see what happens.

I have had to request that the pharmacy (I use Kroger) ONLY fills my Rx for Adderall with the name brand. I don't have health insurance so I am paying for it out of my own pocket and let me tell you that after all the nightmarish side effects I experienced with the Camber generic brand, paying the couple hundred dollars more for Adderall brand is worth it. I had to start using the extended release because it's cheaper but with my blink savings card (Blink is comparable to Good Rx) 30 of the 30mg XR Adderall brand costs me around $230.

At least I know if I'm getting the name brand every month my medication won't change. It's hard enough having ADHD without these pharmacies switching generics on us but they are NOT all the same formula!

Always check your prescription when you pick it up! Check the manufacturer and refuse it if it's Camber. Lanette doesn't work either but it doesn't have the nasty side effects that Camber does. The Kroger pharmacy I use is really inept at paying attention to what my doctor specifies on my Rx. They have tried numerous times to substitute a generic when my doctor clearly states to DISPENCE AS WRITTEN. So if anything, check to make sure your pharmacy is following directions.

I am so sorry all of you are going through this. I spent a whole entire summer in a deep depression because most of these pharmaceutical companies are manufacturing something that they have absolutely NO BUSINESS making!

Hang in there people. Hopefully these pharmacies will get the hint if more of us refuse to accept their fake ADHD medication.

Re: Diego (# 31)

But wait a sec, until tonight I had no idea that there were different manufacturers of generic Adderall. After looking for a picture of the pill I’ve taken for 20+ years, I found Elite was the manufacturer. My Adderall tablets are round this month. I didn’t care, it’s all the same right? However the day I started on the new round pills, headache, nausea, uneasy, yawning constantly, stomach pain, dizzy, no stamina, motivation or give a f’s at all. Crabby if anyone even whispers my name because the headache is so intense. Looking for an explanation, I even took a covid test. It was negative. Being so irritable, I went online and googled what’s wrong at Walgreens that they have no Adderall (they partially filled my Rx and told me to find another pharmacy outside of the Walgreens chain to get the rest of it). Trying to find an answer lead me to all these threads about generics. First I’d heard of it. Camber kept popping up as a stay away from manufacturer. I wondered what I was taking and looked at the bottle. Camber. I googled it and found description after description of what I was experiencing. My problems with taking Camber’s generic came long before I even knew there was a company called Camber. Yes it’s all in my head, but not because someone put it there. You worry bout yourself.

I'm so glad people are speaking up about how bad the Camber generic adderall effects can be.

I've been taking the Teva generic for 8 months and haven't had any problems (unless I took it on an empty stomach). I'm on a low dose - 15mg/day IR.

Due to the backorder, I had to go two weeks without any medication in late July/early August. When it came in two weeks ago, the pills were white instead of blue and the manufacturer was Camber. At first, it seemed ok, but gradually I feel worse and worse. So much so that I'm taking 5mg/day which does almost nothing for focus.

Nothing has changed in my life stress-wise, but all of the sudden I have insomnia in the middle of the night. I feel kind of blue and have never had trouble with depression. I also feel irritable for no reason. There's something not right about this generic. I really hope the FDA looks into it (I've reported my experience to them). I really feel for everyone who relies on this medication to function. Avoid the Camber generic if you can.

Re: Mark Stringfellow (# 90)

I was placed on the Adderall generic, made by drug supplier CAMBER Pharma, since my Walgreens in Jupiter, Florida filled my prescription for the 20mg IR tablets due to "CORPORATE" and that Camber sells them to Walgreens, CVS and many others at the lowest price possible.

I didn't recognize that the orange tablet was any different than the previous generic so I took my first dose. Shortly after I took my morning dose I became tired and had brain fog but didn't associate it, not for a long time with any change in medication. I developed agitation, difficulty with my ability to focus and complete daily tasks. I became very depressed over a couple of months and told the pharmacy that I thought the generic Adderall from CAMBER was making my head hurt, causing me to be profoundly depressed and agitated.

The pharmacist reassured me that the generics are actual equivalents by federal mandates. I told my pain doctors, my primary care and others. Soon I was so depressed I felt like I needed mental health assistance because I began to have Suicidal Ideation (just keeping it real folks). I saw and continue to see a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who began treatment with SPRAVATO, an intranasal antidepressant that can work rapidly. Some respond to Spravato, Esketamine (similar to Ketamine) after a few hours to days. Most antidepressants work differently and often take weeks to see any real effect and often the odd continues to change dosing or change to a different antidepressant.

I was in a high brain fog and didn't feel any relief until this novel treatment. After two months more of complaining and filing a Medication Alert with the FDA, I struggled with energy and fatigue. I was getting better in and ways but something was interfering and I determined it was the generic Adderall from CAMBER pharma of India, that was causing these terrible side effects. Once I was able to get an actual officially appointment the doctor was not at all surprised and believed me in my very first visit. He told me that although the generic medications are made to be equal with the dosage of the active drug, a 20 percent difference is allowed for fillers and other ingredients that may affect where the medication is absorbed in the body, etc. He stated he would write a prescription to direct my Pharmacist at the new Pharmacy Abacoa in Jupiter, not Walgreens after 20 years, to "Dispense As Written" Adderall 20mg IR and added to never dispense medications from CAMBER.

I couldn't bring my old medication into the new Pharmacy to obtain what I needed as there are so many issues involved due to strict enforcement of Controlled Substances in the USA and the impact it would have on my Patient Health Profile, a system all of you are on that keeps track of all your medications and sets RED FLAGS that permanently stain your record. I've never failed a drug screen and never abused medications. Long story short PLEASE CONTACT THE MEDICATION ALERT, available with a Google search to report an issue with a medication and FDA, and complete as much of the form as you can. The only way they will actually respond is after many complaints or when the number of suicides increases the overall mortality rate. Your doctor or prescriber can send change your prescription to the Brand Name or write you don't want CAMBER for a generic.

I agree completely. I recently have been taking the generic adderall put out by Camber the 20mg&10mg tablets. Currently the medication has been giving me major headaches with a almost a sedated feel. Also they have made my mood go up and down from sad to happy then aggressive to mean. It makes me feel very lost on what to do through the day, making me wonder what is this medication for and what is it really; people who suffer from ADHD and other Diagnosis requiring adderall please be cautious and understand that the generic adderall produced by Camber Pharm is not what it says it is, not even close.

My hands and feet were beginning to swell, especially my feet and ankles. I got off the Cambers onto Teva and that all went away. The Cambers are no good and people should reject them if that’s what they are given. They are NOT Adderall. I’ve been taking them for months now and they are straight up no good.
