Please, please quit taking anything from TEVA. Any meds they dispense to me with this brand TEVA does not work on anyone or any pet. They may even be dangerous. I use Pliva instead and have no issues. Check with your pharmacy and see which brand they carry. Some carry both. Also think about a compounding pharmacy.

Re: Adderall User (# 10)

Teva is absolutely not made by Actavis. These are all together two different drug companies. Not sure where this idea is coming from. As a matter of fact Teva is in the middle of a $40.5 billion dollar buyout for Actavis. How would Teva buy Actavis if they were working together? Teva is buying Actavis because 1. They are worth over ten times what Actavis is. 2. Look up how much money Actavis has lost in the last two years because of prescription recalls alone. They can't afford not to sell.

Re: Jp (# 28)

No, they are making this trash with less active ingredients and pocketing the profit. Then, they are hoping that you will be prescribed Vyvanse (its new and the psychiatrist will offer it... to solve your adderall issues), which Teva has a huge amount of its active ingredients....already purchased by them, allocated by the DEA. However, they claim to have an adderall "shortage". The shortage was created by Shire to maximize profit and to have everyone switch to their new ADHD medicine. Which...didn't happen, so they all just crank out trash meds and rake in all the profit. It is more profitable to leave out the most expensive, active, ingredients. Do you need to see the literature? Try looking it up before you ask me to provide it. It is easy to find.

Re: Nona (# 42)


I have been having some bad side effects to Teva's B972, I can't finish a thought, I can't remember names/dates, disoriented, dizzy, nauseous, I get tired easily. I was on 10 MGs of E111's for 6 months which was working great, I felt like myself again, focused, etc etc. I only took 5 days a week, 2 days off on weekends, I don't want to be beholden to medication and my Dr said this was ok.

But then all of a sudden it didn't work, I looked at the pill and noticed it looked different. When I asked my Dr he said there are several different generics but it's the same ingredients. It's been two months with two different pills. So I pulled out the prescription forms (As the bottles look identical as well as the name), and I see that for the last three months they haven't been giving me what worked. It IS a different pill each time after I was on the same E111 pill for 6 months, they have given me U27 and B972 from TEVA which has not worked at all. So I do more digging on the internet and I'm appalled, and call the pharmacist - when I ask why a generic is changed without informing a patient or the DR., they said that all generics are the same, but obviously scientifically this cannot be the case, just from a logical standpoint and from the testing you can find on the internet. They said they use whatever their supplier/manufacturer sends them (meaning cheaper I am guessing). They also said C2 Drugs are not highly regulated in NY - meaning manufacturers and pharmacists can use different generics as long as it's called the same thing, the supplier doesn't have to show proven results that it's the same and they don't have to inform us of this, they just put it in the fine print? Uhm what? There is the FDA's Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence, but I can't seem to find the two pills to compare. If we are not able to stay on the exact same drug while in treatment or not even be informed of this it's really alarming. Anyone notice the change in generic drug correlates with the increased side effects or need for change in prescription?

Re: Melissa (# 46)

We have absolutely no choice anymore! The ONLY answer is to get off of any medication that TEVA is making and claiming it is "Adderall" because I am NO FOOL! I have been prescribed Adderall for many years and 100% KNOW what my body feel like on and off of this medication! But whatever THEY are stuffing inside these pills so THEY can continue making millions IS DEFINITELY GOING TO LEAD TO SOME PEOPLE KILLING THEMSELVES TO GET AWAY FROM THIS NAUSEOUS EVERYDAY FEELING WITH A HEADACHE AND NO FEELING OF PRODUCTIVITY, OR FEELING OF WELL BEING LIKE THEY HAVE ALWAYS FELT BEFORE! This is NO way for a human to function every single day! This is like slow, miserable, painful, sickening death! Why have they done this? Is it because they thought that more children were on it and they wouldn't say anything, they would just endure it until they no longer couldn't and would wait for mom and dad to leave the house and HANG THEMSELVES!!!???

We KNOW this is not the medication we were prescribed originally, but those poor, poor children who don't know any better are being prescribed this medicine because they have some ADHD, BUT once they are given this cheap generic brand that has NONE of the active ingredient they claim, but some kind of sickening poison that will only make them feel worse- THOSE CHILDREN HAVE NO CLUE LIKE WE DO! They are trusting their parents who have no clue either! They think they are helping their children, and leaving their young lives in the hands of TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL AND THE FDA, and all they are going to do is hurt their children and make them sick to the point of thinking they are dying or the children just want to die! AM I MAKING ANY SENSE? DO YOU ALL BELIEVE ME? IS THIS HOW YOU FEEL TOO? I feel awful, sick to the stomach, I have a continual headache, no energy, no will to do anything but just do what I have to do because I HAVE to, I feel depressed, I have nothing in me to give to my children whom I love so much- because I keep HOPING TEVA HAS FINALLY MADE IT RIGHT! BUT NO! TEVA IS NOTHING LESS THAN FDA MURDERING US!

I SO NEED THE ORIGINAL ADDERALL! THE ORIGINAL FORMULA! THE ORIGINAL BRAND! WHY! WHY! WHY! HAVE THEY DECEIVED US LIKE THIS! We ALL know this in not the medication we had been prescribed but we hope- so desperately the NEXT pill will be it! That pill will kick everything in and I'll feel normal again. But NOPE! It doesn't happen! Our next prescription is just coming up and we think THIS NEW RX WILL BE NORMAL! But, we get it filled TRUSTING OUR FDA A-G-A-I-N and guess what? NOTHING! SAME CRAP, DIFFERENT MONTH! I AM SICK OF FEELING NAUSEOUS WITH A HEADACHE EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE! SICK OF IT! We ALL used to feel great! We could take our medicine in the morning, we could feel it sorting through our brains as we thought #1) I'll start on this project first and by the time I'm finished #2) This is what I'll need to do next and then #3) Will give me enough time for this and at 5pm #4) I get my son from school get a quick bite #5) Soccer, etc... And this is how calm and organized we ALL ONCE FELT! IT WAS A WELL BEING FEELING. IT FELT GOID TO BE ALIVE! BUT NO MORE!

The FDA became more interested in lining their pockets with money, and decided to throw CRAP into the pill BOGUS! CRAP! - NOT THE REAL AND ORIGINAL DEXTROAMPHETAMINE AND AMPHETAMINE ASPARTATE or SULFATE! THEY HAVE SCREWED US! ARE SCREWING US! ARE SCREWING OUR DOCTORS! ARE SCREWING THE PHARMACIST! WE ARE BEING SCREWED AND NO ONE IS LISTENING OR HEARING US!!!! WHY???? Instead of keeping the medicine THE WAY IT WAS they harmed us, took our money, we gave so much money each month to our doctors who wrote our RX, gave so much money to the pharmacist for the RX our Dr's prescribed, FOR WHAT? FOR GARBAGE ORANGE THINGS CALLED PILLS! FOR THE RECORD- I DO NOT HAVE TOLERANCE ISSUE! I know what that feels like and is easily remedied by taking a vacation/break from it. Something has to be done! Something! But I will not give my hard earned money to this greedy government anymore just so they can get richer! FDA YOU ARE NOTHING BUT DISGUSTING GLUTTONOUS SLOBS WHO CARE FOR NO ONE BUT YOURSELVES!

Incorrect. TEVA began the aquisition of Actavis in July 2015 and completed it Aug. 2016. The below is copied from the TEVA Pharmaceutical website.

Do some research next time before you spew information with such obvious confidence. It misinforms others and doesn't help the goal of protecting or informing each other. Unless your intent is to protect TEVA.

Teva Completes Acquisition of Actavis Generics Acquisition Reinforces Teva's Strategy and Opens New Possibilities for the Company in Generics and Specialty; Serving 250 Million People, Every Day.

JERUSALEM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 2016-- Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA) and Allergan plc (NYSE: AGN) today announced that Teva has completed its acquisition of Allergan’s generics business (“Actavis Generics”).
