Pink Vs Orange Adderall (Page 5)

Is there a difference in the potency of the generic oval orange 30mg and the generic round pink 30 mg?

REPORT

In my opinion, the Round PINK adderall are BY FAR the best available. Followed by the orange ovals, or "TEVAs" then lastly and rightfully so cuz THEY TOTALLY SUCK, those gay assed orange rounds. Hope this is helpful.

The "pink ones" are made by the Global Impax and are commonly called CorePharma or Core.

In my city they are readily available at many grocery stores rather than traditional pharmacies. Stores like Kroger, Tom Thumb/Randalls, Albertsons always have them on hand.

CorePharma's tablets are round, neon pink in color, and Cor 136 or Cor 137 for the 20mg & 30mg tablet.

Waiting,

I also take the round, pink 30mg IR generic Adderall. It's made by a company called Global Impax and it's sold and commonly called CorePharma or Core.

The 30mg orange ones you mentioned could be one of 3 manufactures. These 3 all put out a tablet that is orange/peach colored. The color in all 3 is very similar.

1. Teva/Barr...how you know it's this one is the shape of the tab. It is the only orangish tablet that is oval-shaped rather than round. The 30mg IR will have b974 marked on it. 20mg is marked b973.

2. Aurobindo...tablets are round, the color is closer to a light peach rather than orange. The 20mg IR tab is marked U30 & the 30mg IR is marked U31.

3. Sandoz made by Eon Labs. It is much closer to a true orange. It is a round tablet. The 30mg IR is marked with a funny looking E above the # 404. It's my understanding that the production of Sandoz has been discontinued, I don't know if it is temporary or permanent.

A simple answer to your problem of the pink ones not working as well as the orange ones has two parts:

Part 1....don't get the pink ones again...ever! Listen..you DO NOT have to meekly accept whatever generic is in that small white bag the pharmacist hands you. It is NOT inappropriate whatsoever, before purchasing, to politely ask which generic manufacturer they currently have on hand. That's exactly the phrase I use and NEVER has a pharmacist declined to tell me. Now over the phone....way different story! Some will/some won't. I have been denied that info., hung up on, so physically going to that store with the hard copy script in hand, be polite and don't come across as demanding or entitled and you can get any information you want about any generic.

One last thing: In my early days taking Adderall, I got so consumed with things like finding out about binders, fillers, inactive ingredients all in the attempt to find out why some manufacturers work better than others, why some days it doesn't seem to work at all. I was certain the answer was somewhere in the differences in binders/fillers/inactive ingredients. Talk about wasting a ton of time and energy!!

I have personally used Actavis, Sandoz, CorePharma, Teva/Barr, Aurobindo and Evekeo and they all work for me. Period.

Now, I will say that without question some work better than others. I would try all for at least one month so you have a personal database on what works and what doesn't.

Advice: Don't pay for the ones that don't work very well...ever again!

People got s*** twisted mann. I had this problem when I switched pharms, been on adderall for two years, 60 mg a day.

I had auro bindo, pinks, teva footballs, other orange. When I went from pink to footballs, I just about fell on the floor. I didnt look at the bag until it was to late and I was home. Let me tell u the worst month of my life was this past october...Got stuck with teva footballs...Possibly the "Best" ones...My ass bro, that's what people are not understanding...

The generic market has done a flip flop. Over a year ago the footballs were the #1 preffered generic. As of last 9 months or 1 year, the pink adderall without question are the most effective...No doubt about it...Teva footballs now a days, will make u yawn an ache, an they are complete trash....

Pink cor pharma or nothing my fellow patients....

From a dude that used to be obsessed with getting to the bottom of the generic ****ery...Made complaint with fda though about footballs, like they gave a s***...Bunch of foreign country's making our pills, now trump in office, interesting to see how many pill mills will be be legit possibly see the adderall stash become usa made. #hope

Yes, there is a huge difference! I live in TN and had been getting the pink ones and felt great! Then one month I got the orange ones and did not feel a thing. I asked my pharmacy about it and she said that is what the manufacturer sent them. Well that went on for about 6 months. This week I went and picked mine up and low and behold I got the good pink ones again. Doing my happy clap! Haha, back problems can't do the dance!

I live on the west coast, and almost all the pharmacies here carry the pink, only walgreens and walmart carry the orange but walmart is always out for some reason, anyway I can't take the pink I feel awful on them, I only take 20 mg. But there is something not good in the pink ones, all I can think about are the young kids that have to take this but don't know to tell their mom somethings wrong, they just have to take the med. Mom gives them. It can't be good for kids, what ever the fillers are that they put in the pink ones is bad stuff. Makes me sleep,less energy, headaches, tense, just over all feel bad. I tried to tell the pharmacist they need to look into it for the sake of young kids.

Now i have the complete opposite reaction. I live in phila and all pharmacies sell the cheap orange football 974. It makes me sick in the stomach etc.. What i dont get was this pill use to work then the co. who made them was sold to another company; I believe the name is Teva..and they decided to change the fillers.. Why? Because the fillers they use cost less. I think its wrong that these companies r able to play around with the fillers...fillers matter. Not everyone feels the same as you.

I had taken from Aurobindo back in 2014. I was prescribed with 30mg 2x a day and went up to 3x day bacause I told my psychiatrist that I wasn't feeling the effect. I started off with 10mg twice a day but I don't remember who manufactured it because that was back in 2008. So, with Aurobindo in 2014 and 2015, I started abusing it because I wasn't feeling the medication kicking in, I wasn't concentrating, it was very difficult. Then I was prescribed with 30mg 3x a day. Still wasn't enough. One time that year, I received from Teva (I think it was orange but it was a football shaped tablet) and it worked great! I didn't feel the need to take more than what I'm supposed to be taking. See, in those years, I wasn't aware of manufacturers, I was just told that they are the same thing. Then I started getting Aurobindo again, and I told my CVS pharmacist that I wanted the other one that was shaped like a football, but she gave me an attitude and tried to convince me that they are the same. In 2016 to now, I started go to Ralph's pharmacy and Aloha Pharmacy because they carry Corepharma (the pink tablet that is round labeled COR 136 on the back). Corepharma works really well with me. Unfortunately, just recently I got Aurobindo...again (the light orange tablet that is round labeled U31 on the back). It doesn't work well with me. I don't get concentration, it's like if it has no effect on me, well besides headaches here and there, anxiety, insomnia, and I feel crappy. Luckily, I have a few from last month which are from Corepharma, and those were very effective for me. Always focused, motivated and I felt great. I'm still prescribed with 30mg 3x a day. As of today, I'm searching pharmacies to see which have Corepharma, because with Aurobindo..I'm not myself. I live in California, SoCal to be exact, if anyone knows of a pharmacy that carry Corepharma, please let me know :) oh, if a pharmacist say that it's the same adderall, same tablet, just a different color...that is false. I felt the difference. I learned today that I have tell my psychiatrist to write down "Corepharma only" so I don't get Aurobindo, ever again. I had to do my research on these generics, which I should of done that a long time ago.

Been prescribed two 30mg adderall a day for two years..so...here are short facts from my experience...

PINKS are the best ones, most energy, more focus, more of a kick with some mild negative side effects.

TEVA - ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE, accidentally got once and suffered the whole month, made me tired, and felt like i was withdrawaling.

AUROBINDO - better than teva, nothing close to cor pharma, bunk to me.

SANDOZ - trash / mixed reviews about them, depends on batch & 20s or 30s, not worth the risk.

Whatever u do don't get teva footballs or ull regret that 100%. Don't let pharms tell u there all the same either. Binders and fillers affect each person differently. So try them all but try COR PHARMA FIRST! (IMO). I also take each dose with 2,000mg of calcium carbonate. (Antacid) increases effectiveness, not by a great degree but noticeably. Hope i helped someone.
