Mp 447 Yellow Pill Discontinued (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

Are these tablets Adderall, and are they a good brand?

I also heard that they may be discontinued. Is that true as well?

National Drug Code: 53489-0570

Re: Chelle (# 10)

I agree 100 percent. My pharmacist knows that I request Teva 30mg Adderall, but this month they were out again. So he gave me 30mg Adderall Mp 447 (sun pharmaceuticals) they are garbage this is the 2nd generic that they have passed on to me the first one was 30mg U31 Adderall it also didn't have any effects. Why the FDA let's pharmaceutical companies get away with making generics differently than the actual medication is beyond me.

Re: Dew (# 12)

Unfortunately, since it's a scheduled class 2 substance You're not able to actually call a pharmacy and ask what they have in stock, What brands they carry or even if they have them. All these pill popping oxymorons ruin it for everyone as they used to do that with questions over the phone asking what brands are in stock, do you have "x" amount on hand as I have a script for it and so on. After gathering their info, they would go rob those pharmacies and sometimes even resulting in shoot the pharmacist in the head on the way out (I remember two cases that involved massacres over stupid pills).

As a result, lives were ruined forever, and these stupid laws were put into place not permitting any pharmacy to tell you any information regarding class 2 substances over the phone. That became very annoying as I was in an accident in the past and do needed painkillers. Well it turns out if the pharmacy doesn't know you, even if they have it chances are they will not serve you. I felt like a teenager trying to buy beer for f-- sakes!. I remember suffering from a lot of pain, having to go several pharmacies meanwhile was in so much pain That it took me 10 15 minutes just to get out of the damn car. Finally got lucky at the sixth pharmacy. Now, that was many years ago, I'm still loyal and grateful to that 6th pharmacy as they gained a new customer that didn't need painkillers after a month, helped out someone in pain who ended transferred everything pharmacy wise to them. This is why I recommend sticking with mom and pop pharmacies because of they don't have it, they will get it to you quick and that goes for all types of generics that may not work for you and they'll get it for you upon request and keep a stock just for you. Now that's customer service.

Epic pharmaceuticals (pink round Adderall)
Greenstone pharmaceuticals (white Xanax) BEST

Lastly, what I love about mom and pop pharmacies as soon as you walking through their door and see you, you can literally hear the pills being shuffled through the counter while being bottled which means you're in and out the f---ing door and less than 10 minutes. Not these damn big box stores (Walmart being the worst of course and going down to grocery stores) No matter how busy or how slow they are minimum weight of 30 minutes to an hour purposely just so you'll shop around and end up buying s--- that you don't need or don't really need it that particular day for example.

Advice:

1, make a list of all the generics made for your medication(s) while keeping track of what's crap and choosing at least two to three that you're willing to take due to their effectiveness on you of course putting your favorite at the top.

2, find a trustworthy good mom and pop shop pharmacy that will go out of their way for you as you're their customer And simply get the ones that work for you best.

Not these damn big box stores (Walmart being the worst of course and going down to grocery stores) No matter how busy or how slow they are, minimum wait is always 30 minutes to an hour purposely just so you'll shop around at their store. The longer they keep you the bigger chance of you actually buying something or making a stupid impulse buy that will cost you and unnecessary amount of money. I once sat in a big box store pharmacy with no other people waiting around me with no drive thru while watching three pharmacists play grab ass for an hour before finally bottling your medication & checking me out so I may leave. NOW that is some BS right there as I actually witnessed them not working or bottling other orders as they were screwing around in plain sight.

3, after taking the same exact generics or even brand names for x amount of time, they may stop being as effective as they used to. Therefore, rotating your medication to your second favorite is recommended and/or trying to lower your dosage for a month or two in order to balance out your tolerance for the medication That may have worked wonders for you while later becoming very ineffective or just ever so slightly.

4, If you could live without it stay away from it. Remember here in America there's no such thing as a curing doctor. It's a nation of business therefore it's more profitable to treat you instead of curing you. Always keep an eye for alternatives to fix your problems and stop being a whore for big pharma just like I used to be one for big tobacco for example.

We all have our weaknesses moderation is key and getting to know your your body from a mental spiritual point can be also very beneficial as you'll be surprised at what your own body and mind may cure.

Good luck stay healthy

They’re not on back order, I contacted Teva myself and was informed that the Teva 30 mg plain tablet adderall does not have a shortage. Once enough people request that brand, they’ll be forced to order it. What’s even more strange is they can get the 20 mg, along with other mgs just not 30! Odd!

Re: Debbie (# 20)

Teva is my brand that works the best for me. I’ve contacted them directly to find out what the issue was because I am unable to find a pharmacy that carry’s them. We as patients have the right to request a specific brand to the filling pharmacy, but at this time, they’re all lying and saying they’re on back order, but Teva confirmed there is no shortage. This must be a pharmacy thing!

Re: Compy (# 4)

I contacted Teva, the manufacturer of the orange oval 30 mg adderall (the one that tastes better than the others) & they do not have a shortage on the 30 mg, as they confirmed in their response to my email. They gave me a list of vendors & what pharmacies are contracted through them. With that information, I wonder why pharmacies are claiming the 30 mg are on back order.

Re: SJ (# 14)
agree! Been on the med my entire life! Absolutely, gained strange weight n stomach distended ? stomach will have pains from gi issues snd very much uncomfortable every time! Works but it doesn’t work the same as it once did! Something is super sketch per usual w dea snd regulations (quality control is nonexistent ) the sandoz brand is so nit the team deal anymore and makes me uninspired just bland! tastes soapy, makes me easiky annoyed and wears off in an hr causing great need to redose but I try to refrain it’s a head game and they’ve just all inconsistent with performance all brands on a monthly basis. I feel it’s a mindwarp but u can tell the diff in generics instantaneously, I feel focused, balanced, productive and clear minded anytime I’ve received the yellow sun ones they seem to be clear cut clean focus with less fillers or side effects if any ! Thanks for your posts !! I like the yellows too! many ppl chasing the very mych changed formula brand name and noticeably different and weaker effects today

Re: Ian K (# 13)

I agree with you Ian. Since mid-September I have been on 4 different 30mg IR generics because Teva was out of stock. (Teva was decent up until the restock after Sept) The Sun yellow MP477, Alvogen, Sandoz and now back to Teva. Sandoz used to be the best, but not anymore they are useless. Teva has caused weight gain, hormonal disruption, depression, severe stomach distress and absolutely no relief of ADD symptoms. Sun Pharma was by far superior to all of them and Alvogen was not too bad either.

I have also found the yellow round ones by Sun Pharma to work amazingly well. with other generics, round orange ones as well as oval orange ones, I take them and feel like a zombie that is lost in my own little world, but when I took the yellow ones, I was much more engaged with my loved ones and connected to the world rather than super focusing on something meaningless in reality but impossible to direct my focus away from at the time. Maybe for me the orange ones just work too well, but I prefer how the yellow ones still allowed me to focus and multitask.

Started out with 30 mg of sun Pharmaceutical Adderall IR... All of a sudden my world FINALLY came together, at 41! Wow! Came time to fill month 2 (not knowing any better), came home, opened bottle, got a different med. Adderall, but different manufacturers, same stuff right? NO WAY! First time ever I learned generics aren’t all the same!

I took it and OMG the hell began! Headaches (struggled all my life with migraines, I despise them and on a preventative). Depression came back, tired, moody. Called the pharmacist asking questions and said I want back what I had last month. Was told he can only get what's sent to him. My best bet is to call around. So I'm stuck this month in HELL, last month was the best month in my life in at least 15 YEARS. I can’t accept that I only get ONE month of that and back in this hell!

I tried calling every pharmacy around and NONE carry that brand and say they can't order that brand from the distributor. Well this TEVA s*** is just that - S***. I can’t do this!

I have gotten a crash course in Adderall and generics. A taste of the blessing and back to the hell. I have a lot to learn still but I could use help if any of you more experienced individuals have any pointers. One being who carries SUN PHARMA? Thanks in advance for any help, might be worth noting I'm in Kansas City but no luck!

Not all generics are created equal. It is true that what works for one may not work for another bc we all respond differently to fillers etc. However, we are now in a not- so- brave -new -world where many generics are extremely problematic; some dangerous. They contain less than the required amount of the medication; a different version of the medication or no medication at all or medication that isn't the medication to be substituted. The Sun yellow 30 mg tablet scored w imprint MP 447 of Adderall IR is in my personal experience as a patient and in all of my patients' experiences the worst there is. Note: my most recent rx was marked on as being Teva generic but the Sun tablets were inside. This is cause for concern as well. Nausea, sleepiness (this is bc you aren't getting the medicine you are used to and it is a discontinuation syndrome), paresthesias, feeling overly emotional - other than the sleepiness many of the symptoms people experience with this generic are not due to discontinuation. There are unknown active components that are causing the side effects. The truth is you do not know what you are putting in your body. The pink Corpharma is also poor quality. Better are Teva and perhaps Barr. It is frowned upon to ask for a specific generic tho there is nothing wrong w doing so at all. There are alternatives; some people don't need an IR form with new Mydayis from Shire; zenzedi works for many (now that one is hard to tell if you are getting generic or brand but unless you have problems w methylene blue dye - also present in Vyvanse 50 mg- you are usually ok w it. And no - I am not paid by the pharm industry - generic companies or brand companies; big or little Pharma. LOL to that notion! I use alternative treatments as well as traditional - but for ADD stimulants are the gold standard bc they work and are safe. When we don't have safe, effective non toxic generics we have poorer health care. There is a reason any of us taking this med take it!!! If you have a problem with a generic PLZ go to the FDA website and fill out the form - you only need to fill out THREE areas on it! This is the only way they can somewhat track these problems. They cannot test every batch of every med but they can't know where to look without patients or consumers help. They have posters for HCPs about the current situation w generic meds. but not for HCPs to put in waiting rooms for example - wish they did. I am here posting as a consumer/pt myself. And as an advocate for consumers/pts as a "private citizen" and as a MD. I spend a lot of unreimbursed time trying to track the generics and I am grateful for websites like this and for pharmacists and nurses and other HCPs and folks who research these issues. Many of the generic companies are changing names and hands so fast one cannot keep up with them - this is called a corporate shell game. Big problem. Meanwhile payers (meaning insurance companies) big emphasis this year has been generics, generics, generics - even for meds we have known for years are scary for many in generic form - look up synthroid and its history and Wellbutrin for extra fun. This at a time when our generic sources of meds are the least reliable in our lifetime. Be careful; be smart; be safe. Share what you know with others.
