Interesting, I'm trying to find out the same thing. My doctor who is prescribing me this, is telling me to make sure to get the pink ones and not the orange, due to metabolism. Everywhere I have called has the orange (Barr) not the pink (I think Core Pharma). I'm in Albuquerque NM, and supposedly Smith's carries it, but when I called they dont have 30mg.

Hi Wendy,
I live in Michigan and I have been on 30 mg Adderall for about four years. I've been given the orange one's from almost every main-chain pharmacy (Rite-Aid, Walgreens, CVS) and even the 'mom-n-pop' type pharmacies too... except for today... I picked up my Rx from Kroger and they're bright pink. They look like those chewable Pepto Bismol's. It's 3:00 am here & I'm going to bed soon, so I won't be taking it til later in the morning. This will be the 1st time I'll be trying these, so I guess I'll have to wait and see if they work for me.
Adderall (in Mi at least) is on back-order every 6-8 months for some reason, and sometimes is for up to 3 months at a time -- which is why I've had them filled at so many different places -- & sometimes I have to spend all week calling every pharmacy within a 20 mile radius of my house! I believe most Kroger's have a pharmacy... If you live in a state with this chain then you should call and ask them if they carry them. If not, I know a lot of other grocery stores have pharmacies, but they've all gave me the orange ones. Kroger is the only one I have ever got the pink one's from.
Just out of curiosity... Why is it you prefer the Pink vs the Orange?
Best of luck to you.

Who are the manufacturers? What are the markings on the tablets you're asking about?
The colors don't really mean anything, so no one will know what specific ones you're asking about just from stating the colors in your post.
I have taken both the oval orange and the round pink 30mg generic adderall's. I prefer the pink ones but i"m having a hard time finding the pink ones, any suggestions on who has the pink ones?

Hi Wendy,
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 (which may or may not be present in each brand) are actually detrimental to how the drug is metabolized and used by your body. So it's possible that you may respond favorably with one medication and not the other (even if they are the same drug and same dosage).
Orange 30mg generic Amphetamine + Dextroamphetamine tablets (imprinted b 974 3 0) with a National Drug Code of 0555-0974 contain the following inactive ingredients:
NOTE: Shire US Inc. also had a round orange 30mg brand name Adderall tablet (imprinted AD 3|0) with a National Drug Code of 54092-0377 (now discontinued); so it's important to verify where your brand or generic Adderall is coming from in order to best compare/contrast any differences.
I hope this info helps! Have you had a chance to take either of them yet?
