Mp 447 Yellow Pill Discontinued (Top voted first)

Updated

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

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

Hello. Did you ever try out the MP 447 generic adderall you were asking about? I'd like to know your experience. They seem to be around a lot now.

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.

I really don't like them. Orange ones work way better for me.

Even if someone does report their experience with these as being good, it doesn't necessarily mean that you'll end up having the same reaction. We all react/respond differently to the same meds, including the various binders and fillers in each tablet's composition. So my suggestion would be to try it for yourself if you want an authentic opinion.

You can always ask your prescribing doctor to list this specific manufacturer's version of amphetamine/dextroamphetamine 30mg on the prescription (which is Sun Pharma). This way the pharmacist won't just hand you whatever they have on the shelf at any given moment.

I just finished my monthly supply of generic adderall; i.e., the MP 447. First time I've gotten these and will be the last time! My opinion - they did nothing for me. With diligence, I'll have to ensure I don't get these again...like eating candy - nothing.

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.

I've had a different tablet every month. For me these Mp 447 work better than most. These yellow tablets are quite active!

Re: Paula (# 48) Expand Referenced Message

Personally I don't think there is anything wrong with the Mp447 30 mg tablets. Seems NorthStar pharmaceutical picks up some discontinued medications and redistributes them. Sun Pharmaceutical still manufactures them I believe due to copyright laws, unless the rights were sold? I have noticed other discontinued medication being picked up by them. Some ADHD patients like the way Sun works for them, others don't. Mp447 tablets are quit active and long lasting providing stimulation, motivation and energy, something Adhd patients are lacking. There is a need for transparency between companies, this would help provide more consistency in generics. Too much secrecy between pharmaceutical companies can be counter productive for patients I believe. I for one would like to see this shortage resolved, this has been going on too long. Seems it causes more problems for people, I see no benefits, diversion of amphetamines will happen to a point no matter what. Everyone needs to get on with their life, this all has been too disruptive, it has been for me. The war on rx drugs needs to end. Not all people with conditions like Narcolepsy, ADD, ADHD, Fatigue are not using stimulants simply for fun, they are needed to live and thrive in a high pace demanding world we've created.

Re: Ian K (# 13) Expand Referenced Message

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 was given this generic Adderall IR 30MG tablet this month.

I have previously taken Teva and others over the last 10 years.

The first odd thing that no one has discussed here is that on my bottle, the yellow tablet we are discussing states it was manufactured on the bottle by Northstar.

Apparently it is manufactured actually by Sun pharmaceuticals and distributed by Northstar as I called Sun and asked them.

But what is even more bizarre is while browsing the Internet it states that this tablet, MP 447 (Yellow and round)
was discontinued.

Can anyone do a little research and see if this is actually correct? I am very concerned

Re: Nina (# 7) Expand Referenced Message

For me they were pretty good, no problems with them. I’ve been through many brands recently and so far they are up there but of course nothing like Teva. There are about 4-6 decent brands and 5 you never want to get. I spent some hours and came up with this list, from best to worst:

1. Teva
2. Sun
3. Sandoz
4. Lannett
5. Camber
6. Zydus
7. Coreapharma
8. Mylan
9. Alvogen
10. Mallinckrodt

I just googled these generic adderall IR because I have been freakishly tired. I started tho king I must’ve received the wrong medication! Something is very wrong here at least for my body type. It feels like I’ve taken sleeping medicine! Scary.
