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

REPORT

I am just curious about your weight and height? I am 5 feet, 95 pounds which is just what I should be for my height (I'm not super skinny/normal). I am 53 and was diagnosed with ADHD but also depression (since I was 40 and went through menapause which is early). Anyway, the dr started me on 5mg twice daily. Nothing happened and I drank a lot of water (I am familiar with the side effects since one of my children was diagnosed with ADHD when she was 12 and takes adderal). Then my dr moved me to 10mg twice daily. Still 10mg with 2 cup of coffee didn't do much--I felt a bit something but it wore off VERY quickly (I would say I get up at 9am and go to bed usually at midnight). Sometimes I wake up earlier. Still I feel like I need more than 10mg---more like double or triple at least in the am. Also, I am starving and eating more than usual---when anything wears off (and I make sure to hydrate and eat again because I know the side effects) I am actually gaining weight on this. Today I tested (without his permission) 20mg in the am. That woke me up better---but again wears off quickly---causing me to eat a ton...then took another dose of 15 mg and again wore off. TEVA brand. What is going on? Do I just have a tolerance for this?

I live in north New Jersey and I have tried all 3 but I take 20mg. I personally think the white ones are the best. My local Wal-Mart carries them. I went to CVS yesterday and got the cor pink ones and their not as good. I haven't eaten an orange one recently but I remember them. Personally I like the white ones

What strength and brand are you on and how many times a day? I am now on 20mg Orange Teva 20mg twice daily (or once if I don't need it---sometimes depends upon when I wake up). What is your situation?

Re: Mrbig (# 135)

james and airb: wondering your ages and how much you take? I am 53. First began blue teva's 5mg and 10mg (TERRIBLE and NOTHING HAPPENED). The Dr moved me to 20mg orange Teva footballs. They work. I take one in the am and one mid-day. I'm only 4'10 and 92 pounds. It is helping me actually gain wait because I am starving when it wears off. I know the medicine make your heart beat faster and make your blood pressure high so I don't know if it would be smart to increase the dose? What dosages are you on/age/weight and does that make a difference in scripts? I pay to see the dr but the script is covered under my plan. I don't look at these as a way to stay up for 36 hours...more as a concentration/study/work/aid and have more general energy and lexapro didn't help. Apparently Dr's now recommend ADHD meds like smaller doses of adderall (teva brand again) for people like me who nave concentration, energy, and organization issue. Please anyone comment on this.

Could some people post what their dosages per day so that I can evaluate my dose, which is 30 mg twice daily IR.

I just want to make sure my dosage is appropriate, so if you'd be kind enough post your daily dosage, this will help compare with others

Thank you -so much- for taking the time to post!

The orange one teva is the name brand of those. They are shaped like a football I think they r THE best ones! but that's my opinion

I found the pink round one to be MUCH more potent and aggressive. Higher anxiety, more jitters, more insomnia, less appetite. More effective, in a way, but also greater intensity which was sometimes too much, regardless of dosage.

When I alternated and took the orange one, it felt completely inert by comparison. At a later time, I weened off Aderrall completely. Then I started again with the orange oval one with a clean system. I found the orange oval one to be way more tolerable: focus with less anxiety, less jitters, virtually no side effects. While I was on the pink one, the orange one was weaker by comparison so I didn't even feel the effects. It was over shadowed by the pink one. Overall I was very sensitive to meds so I would take only 5-10mgs.

Re: Wendy (# 2)

U can get it at cvs stores, my reg pharmacy had backorder on the oval orange pills, so I had to go to a different cvs and was given pink ones, but I don't like them.

Is Caraco generic Adderall a good effective alternative to brand name Adderall? Does it absorb into the bloodstream as well as Adderall?

Re: hawlpmeh (# 150)

Hi I know exactly the situation. CVS bought Aetna recently so don' even think about using CVS. Walgreens/Duane Reade have Teva brand (D-amphedtamine salts combo). They orange oval pills are HORRIFIC recently. I asked my Dr to change me to to Vyanese (COMMENTS PLEASE)???

Hi guys so I've been taking meds for ADHD for a few months now and started with vyvanse all the way up and it did nothing so i switched to adderall IR and now take 30mg 3 times a day. I have had the round orange ones with the u31 i think they were and now have the peach football B 974 and so far they work great...the round orange ones were horrible for me. I am constantly doing research on different generic brands and have not tried the pink ones everyone talks about. I see now they are being discontinued is this correct? After reading many posts i do think it depends on the person and how they react to the filler and have recently learned taking antacids help with absorbson. I haven't tried it yet and would like to get some thoughts on if it works and which type of antacids i should use. Other than the brands i have mentioned i don't know of any other generics out there so if there are other ones that work well i would definitely like some info on them so i can find the brand that works best for me. I think everyones opinion and suggestions are important and i know it depends on the person and how they react to the fillers but knowing all my options on brands and antacids would be great!

Re: Nancy (# 11)

Hey Nancy! We're down here in southern Florida, near Miami and we were 1 of the 1st areas to be hit by the cut off of the CORE brand pink tablets in 30mg generic Dex Salts combo (adderall), for whatever unknown reasons, the corp decided to stop making their entire line of adderall in the pink copyright color they had made for yrs., I know the 30mg pink tabs aren't avail anymore, and pharmacies here can't even order them because they stopped making them totally! I tell you what, I've had 2 HUGE brain cancer surgeries in the mid 1990's, the 1st astrocytoma surgery took 23hrs in the oper rm, and to enhance my odds at surviving the surgery, they gave me EXTREME UNCTION/LAST RIGHTS & put me into a coma for 7 months time, (LOL...To this day, some 26 straight yrs later, I don't remember a thing about the surgery whatsoever, etc., had a VERY good team of doctors!) they put me under to do the surgery Christmas Eve morning at 5am, 12/24/1992, and I "woke up" late July 1993, shocking the **** out of the Drs and nurses in the advanced NICU unit I was in (LOL), but had to spend another yr in the hosp re-learning all aspects of moving as a human, how to sit up, twist, stand, move my head, use my hands, everything!! Can you imagine being 35yrs old and monster hyper, but having the mobility of a 2 week old infant? When I finally got discharged in March 1994, walking and still alive, I was ecstatic, LOL! I was hi speed my whole life and was already hyper/high processing before then, etc., but those 2 neuro-surg's destroyed my focus and "ability to complete tasks", etc., till they started me on the 1st original generic brand of 30mg dextro combo salts by BARR way way back, they were sweetened, & scored into 1/4's with a big cross mark, & worked WONDERFULLY! (This was around like 95 or 96, etc...), the orange ones now aren't the same ones, I hear, which is a shame, then, when the feds did the big pill mill shut downs here in 2011, (They closed 44 of them in our suburb ALONE!), it got all adderall put on the "extremely restricted drug list" as from being so abused & street sold, and now FORGET IT, you can't locate them anywhere! Friends of ours tell us there are about 7 other generics made of it still, so keep looking, and good luck with your search!

30mg Amphetamine salt comb tab CorePharma pink pills have found over the years to be tried and truly more effective. They are not a waste of my time or money. As a matter of fact, with the pink tablets I felt like I was back to being a contributing member of society. You may ask how is that? (Lol) Well for those of us with ADHD we know we struggle to complete anything from a to z without about 20 million stops in between. We will complete a task, eventually. But just not going to go from A to Z directly - So just feeling like missing the mark and not being able to get it together with any of the other medications, including the orange tablets.
