Zenzedi (brand) Vs Actavis (watson) Generic Amphet/salts Ir

I just started immediate release amphetamine salts (Actavis, half-moon, #26) on tablet. 20 mg (3X daily). Reaction (allergy) unsure? Gastric bypass patients NEED IR. Is Zenzedi immediate release? And, what is the equivalent dosage to equal 60 mg amphetamine salts? My reaction left foot red, pain, stiff, swollen twice its size (for week and half). Since August when still being prescribed Vyvanse XR med lasted only four hours, and ought not to be taking because of Rouen GB procedure-- was I thought causing gout-like symptoms, but I also gained 60 pounds due to other sleep/anxiety meds-- gout made sense but occurred in both ankles and feet. Internist checked uric acid (gout) high but within reasonable range; wants me to see Rheumatologist: still occasional flares but I stopped amphetamine salts ACTAVIS generic) almost two weeks ago. Feel awful (lack of focus, energy). But Zenzedi is brand name and I'll need pre-authorization. Any information or similar experiences are appreciated.

Zenzedi is listed by the manufacturer as containing Dextroamphetamine and yes, it is immediate release.

The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and insomnia.

I'm not finding information on the dosage conversion, but it will most likely be a similar amount.

Can anyone that's taken it chime in with more information?
