Hi shaun,

When you switch brand names or manufacturers, the drug itself doesn't change, but rather the binders or fillers that they put with it. Certain "inactive" ingredients that may or may not be present in each brand, are actually detrimental to how the drug is metabolized and used by your body. Because everyone is different, your body may respond favorably with one medication and not the other (even if they're both Adderall Xr), due to how you feel or based on whatever side effects present themselves.

Although I haven't taken this medication, I can say that they probably have an array of inactive ingredients that are different than what you may be used to from past prescriptions.

I hope this helps!

I recently came back to my college town after winter break and noticed the switch to the Actavis from the local Wal-mart pharmacy. Didn't think much of it at all until I started to realize it was not working like my prescription used to. I feel a great sense of loss of motivation I have never felt with other generics. I had been thinking it was a building of tolerance or something until I finally put two and two together that it was a switch of generic brands. I am going to try to get off the Actavis. Does anyone have any suggestions for another generic and where I can get it?

I am pretty sure the other way around Adderall is mixed 75% d-a 25%l-a divided into 2 dex and 2 lev total four salts

vyvanese is a prodrug of d-amp so is 100% dex am

I have taken the mallenkroft 30 mg tablet for a year now and it works great. Much better than all the other generics out there!!!

I was taking the generic Adderall from Global Pharmacy and it was working great. I just got a refill from CVS and it's not the same generic. They switched to Actavis and now it's a blue pill, not orange like before for the 20mg. I took one and did not like the anxiety and how I felt different. I thought it was in my head so I tried it for a couple more days. It is NOT the same. I know they say every generic is the same, but for me, this doesn't work. They won't refill it so I have to wait a month and hope another pharmacy carries the other brand.

Taking the pill apart and chewing the time release capsules can be very dangerous!!! DO NOT CHEW XR! It could dispense too high a dosage and give you a heart attack, or at the very least, a panic attack. There is a reason they time release these things.

Yes it is. Generic though. I'd be concerned as a parent also. The reason he is having trouble sleeping could be that he is taking them! Some people stay up for days on end while on that. You should be a able to tell a difference in his behavior. Some signs are super amped up, tiny pupil, red ears, sleepless night, excessive talking, extreme dry mouth..I mean you should be able to tell. Good luck!

Re: David (# 1)

No that’s not exactly true. Sure the active ingredient is the same, but generics can vary up to 20% in strength from the name brand (not from each other) so one manufacturer could be 20% weaker than the original while one may be 20% stronger than the original, which would make a huge difference in effect between the two generics.

All I know is if they’re made by Aurobindo or Auro Brands they’re likely pretty fake. I had to stop going to Rite Aid because that’s all they order. I prefer Teva adderall and the only place here that consistently has them is Wallgreens.

I got the R3061 two days ago and i didnt even notice it was different because i havent taken adderall in sooo long. So i took one thirty mg dose at 3 am and it felt great. I was wide awake until about 5 pm the next day. It was crazy. Then i took another dose today at like 6 am and it has done absolutely nothing. I even upped it to 90 mg and nothing. It's a crappy generic brand! I wanna get stuff done. I love just walking up and talking to anyone i want to cause im so hyped up! I can't get that from the 3061's and all my friends that got it too, have the same complaints. It's not nearly as strong.

I got 2 of the orange R 3061 capsules, with white beads in them. I took one at 5 p.m and once it kicked in my lips were numb, then I just got up and started lifting weights. I was also smoking marijuana every hour or so. I would feel the marijuana high for 5 minutes then the generic adderall took back over. At 8 p.m I broke open the other one and let the beads dissolve on my tongue. They work. It is now 12:23 p.m the next day and I'm still wide awake, walking around, checking my windows every 15 minutes, and remember I've been smoking marijuana the whole time also. Good review by me.

I have been on Adderall for years and ended up getting mydayis instead of Adderall and I am telling everyone I know that mydayis is so much better than Adderall... trust me

I assume u were getting the 30 Orange tablets that are fast acting. These are time released capsules . U are probably not used to the time release that gradually goes into your system. Your body is used to the orange tablets taking effect quickly and giving you that energy bump to get going in the morning. {edited for safety}

I feel they work fine for me. I don't notice much of a difference. They seem slightly less potent but work just fine in my opinion.
