Lannett Adderall Reviews
(Newest replies first)

Today I picked up my 20mg x 2 daily adderall IR Instead of my usual adderall made by teva brand i was given a new type that I have never had before... It's supposedly a newer generic version from Lannett pharmaceuticals. It looks just like teva accept it's a lighter shade of peach color and it doesn't have that sweet flavor. It's more chalky like..its early evening and I decided to try one two hours have gone by and still nothing. Humm my question is has anyone else had the opportunity to try these newer version of adderall 20mg from Lannett pharmaceuticals? I will come back in a hour or so and give an update..oh i read a different blogpost and have read that some actually liked it better than teva brand but wished for the sweet taste but they claimed to like it so let's see what others have to say thx for your opinion.

Re: dawnkaree (# 102)

How can they sell you subpar, if not totally fake, medication, and when you complain be like, "Oooooh sorry, there's nothing we can do!"
It's insanity. There's no other product where they could get away with doing that to a customer. Can you imagine???

Lannett generic is absolutely horrible! I had 0 motivation, very fatigued, dizziness, lightheaded, horrible migraines, awful taste in my mouth and no focus!!! Now I am out of an entire month's supply of medication and I need it to function! With all of the awful reviews on this manufacturer you would think something would have been fined by now!!! I will be going back to my old pharmacy to get the brand that actually works and won’t make me feel like I have the FLU!

I've taken Lannett IR adderral for 2 days now instead of whatever the other generic is that i took for years, and it has no effect on me either. I hope my pharmacy will do what yours did and note not to fill it with that brand- hopefully that's not a switch they've made full time

I had an allergic reaction and will NEVER use it again! TEVA is by far the best!

Re: Rcma (# 15)

I think you mean therapeutically equivalent, not bioequivalent. Since it had to pass bioequivalence tests to get approved. Don't think dissolving is the issue. To pass the bioequivalence standards, Lannett would have to break up as well as Teva. The problem is more likely the inactive ingredients and how involved with the active ingredient passing the blood brain barrier or not. Some may help, others may do nothing, still others may hinder it. Don't know the profiles of the inactive ingredients so can't point the finger at anything specific. But bioequivalence that is required for passing FDA testing is based on blood content of the API over time. And has to be fairly close. So it would have to be absorbed and pass the liver about as much for that to be true which negates it not breaking up well enough.

I do agree on trying to find a dose that is therapeutically as effective. I was not able to do so when I got switched to aurobindo from core pharma. Tripled my aurobindo dose and didn't work as well and wore off faster. Since less made it to the brain it seemed that there was more to affect the cardiovascular system. Which may be why some people have said aurobindo was all levo and not dextro, which technically isn't true, but can seem like it. Same deal with Sun pharma brand when getting switched to that. But individuals will have different experiences. Antacids should help in theory, but didn't seem to work for me in particular. But many have had very positive effects from it. Some people try to take it sublingually dissolving it under the tongue. Didn't help me with Aurobindo.

The LANNETT CO Inc 20 mg light peach Adderall are complete junk. They do not work and make me feel a little off.TEVA is what works for me. I have been using Adderall for over 20 years.

June 2023, Lannett Co. Adderall (dextroamp-amphetamine) is ineffective! I took my first 20mg at 6am, usually kicks in about 3mins. after but no luck. Took a second at 7:55am and nothing! Called the pharmacy, they've noted my account not to dispense Lannett Co., generic adderall but that's all that could be done. Luckily I have a few of the Teva from my previous bottle. I have so many deadlines this month and I don't know how I'm going to make them! Super frustrating and disappointing!

Same exactly. I found that using GoodRx & Costco is a significant cost savings over insurance & Walgreens or CVS

I currently have 20mg IR by Teva. They are not sweet and wear off in 3 hours. Last month I had 30mg IR by Teva from Walgreens who no longer have them. Not sweet but better than the 20mg I got this month. I am going to ask my new pharmacy if they can get the Lannett/Elite. Camber and Mallinkrodt we're worthless and terrible, respectively.This monthly struggle is getting old.

Re: HCStymie (# 98)

Total agreement. And to my knowledge there is no equivalency test. ANDAs are given based on PAPER applications. Not actual pill samples. AURO IS USELESS.

"They pass the bioequivalence tests and get approved, the FDA leaves it up to the pharma companies to self regulate. (FDA is underfunded and can't handle the volume otherwise.)"

ABSOLUTELY YES ON ABOVE. I'VE READ EVERY MAJOR INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM REPORT ON THIS HORRIBLE DILEMMA

Re: Rcma (# 10)

Rcma, One factor you are missing in the 80-125% (it's 125 not 120) bioequivalence standard is that the 90% confidence interval has to be within the 80-125% range. Which means that the average pill has a smaller range from 100 than 80-125.

Another issue is that after they pass the bioequivalence tests and get approved, the FDA leaves it up to the pharma companies to self regulate. (FDA is underfunded and can't handle the volume otherwise.)

Twice I had been given something from an Indian company, it was basically useless. Nothing against India or Indian people, but their pharma industry is a sham. It was a blind test for me. I take the meds, they don't work, I look up the pill online. Both times, an Indian company or Indian owned subsidiary. 1 other time it was a white pill with the exact same shape and size of Sun (yellow) / Aurobindo (light orange) brands. I didn't look that one up at the time. Probably another Aurobindo supplied junk. Some of these companies have frequently failed FDA inspections and have been known to and caught cooking the books on the ingredients and potency in their meds.

Don't think I have ever been given Lannett brand. But Aurobindo, I was taking 120 to 140 mg daily (not exaggerating) and it was less effective than 50mg of generic Teva (that I had left over from 2010). Even factoring in lower quality fillers, there is a very strong chance that Aurobindo is not within the 80-125% range. Would be nice if someone crowdsourced testing of their medication to see what they are actually giving us. Years ago I tried the Indian Sun brand (They also own NorthStar). Found out on the FDA site that it was being manufactured by Aurobindo.

Re: Rcma (# 82)

After 3 weeks of taking Camber I can say the hangover I described earlier isn’t what you’re describing. At first, I thought it was because I was taking too much (even tho I’ve been taking the same dose many years) or it was hitting all at once. But typically when I’ve done that, that’s a headache feeling with bad mood to go along with it. This feeling is more like not a pain but almost pressure in the sinus and eye area. Almost like allergies, but zero allergy symptoms. I haven’t felt it on another generic. It’s definitely not bad enough to switch generics because it actually works and I’m gonna be avoiding Teva for the foreseeable future anyway
