I HAVE BEEN TAKING GENERIC ADDERALL which has always been called amphetamine salts. My last script instead of saying amphetamine salts substituted for adderall it says amphetamine salts substituted for amphetamine salt combo? What's this mean?

Yes there is a big difference!! I have been getting amphetamine salt from CVS unfortunately I got it from Walgreens this last time... they gave me an feta means salt combination I feel horrible it is also sweet when I take it we're as being feta means salt that's blue in a circle not an oval has a bitter taste the end feta means salt combo makes me actually tired where is the amphetamine salt from CVS I'm careful because it gives me so much energy and that's what it's supposed to do for me as well as help me with my ADHD so anyone who thinks they are crazy there is a difference you're not crazy!! Also the amphetamine salt combo makes me nauseous gives me a headache all day side effects that they say but the amphetamine salt never did that to me!!

@Chevymama: You clearly have no idea what you are talking about and I don't believe you when you claim to be a pharmacist either based on your multiple instances of blatantly false information. Firstly, suggesting that the op is abusing the adderall because they were awake for 20 hours on 10mg is beyond stupid and idiotic. A person abusing amphetamines would feel almost nothing from that low dose and certainly not be up that long. Secondly, you have no idea what half life is or means which is why I doubt your claim about being a pharmacist. 3 hour half life means after 3 hours half of the drug has been eliminated....it does not mean the effects wear off in 3 hours. 10mg could easily keep someone up for 20 hours if they are new to amphetamines. Lastly, having ADHD does not mean that amphetamines have the opposite effect on the person that they usually do. This is a common myth and it is untrue. It is true that they may become less hyperactive and find it easier to concentrate but this does not mean it is acting as a depressant, it is still very much a stimulant in effect and this means it keeps you awake whether you have ADHD or not. So now that you know that nearly every word you posted is nonsense you can stop insulting people and trying to sound intelligent.

Yup!! This is EXACTLY what happened to me with the pharmacies and everything. Walgreen's pharmacist said the different pharmaceuticals use different fillers but the active ingredient is the same that people metabolize is differently hence different people have different side effects. I was in sluggish haze with the Walgreen's MFG-TEVA maker and its called D-Amphetamine salt combo absolutely hate it. Went back to my CVS brand AUROBINDO PHARM LOVE IT!! I feel normal happy energetic like the people I used to hate lol

Chevy mama,
With your experience(credentials listed in your post about adderall) I am curious if you know if there is anything that could help me stop taking suboxone. I noticed when I had to take tordol for a kidney stone it made me not want to take sub. But tordol is not prescribed for longer than 5 day use. I really need off the subs and am trying to talk to any pharmacist that may be able to help. Am I crazy to think this helped?. Is tapering the only way? Been on it for 5 years more addicting than the pain pills I was taking. I also tried pot since it's legal where I am and that also helped so now I am thinking of trying to get my medical card.any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thx

My last months script ... 20 mg amphetamine salts 2xday and I take only a half at a time maybe every four hours well I think that round of pills were all PLACEBOS!! I found myself taking instead of 40 mg a day probably 65 because they weren't working and I've been taking this for about eight years now no problem. Each one literally tasted like sugar!!! Usually I can't leave it in my mouth for too long before I swallow it I'm always racing to get my drink and get it out of my mouth but every time I would break them and run for my drink I'm wondering why this taste like sugar!!!?? This is not the first time it's happened and if my life didn't get too busy to fast I would've emailed the FDA reported not only the first bottle that I suspected of not working but the other ones too. I switched pharmacies too the other day, but of course he had to call my old pharmacist who knows what they do back there and will get reported to the pharmaceutical companies what kind of records are kept to you save them money or not or maybe just to guinea pig us Who knows!!!
I can go on n on about conspiracies haha but I stop here

It is good to know that "inactive" ingredients have an effect on the way generic is metabolized (which can alter its effectiveness. What I would like to know is there any way I can have the pharmacy fill my rx with generic from the same manufacturer each time? Was doing wonderfully, miraculously well, pharm. changed manufacturer, and now I have a full month of worthlessness ahead. If I'm lucky enough to get something that works I start all over again- every time this happens and the pills don't work, except for a slightly edgy restlessness (but not enough to keep me awake or even moving around) I feel guilty and frustrated because I don't get (am unable) anything done which makes me feel insecure and this cycle is to be endured because a pharmacy decides to buy from a cheaper manufacturer? It's really awful. It hurts I'm trying to find work and to get randomly disabled like this is getting to be too much.

Dextroamphetamine also know as amphetamine salt is less addictive on the other hand adderall is almost as quickly addictive when taken out of the prescription range

That's why they are taking a lot of meds off the market cause people that abuse their drugs. It takes away from those that really need it. Some people are ignorant. They go running their mouth before they think. Your telling on yourself that you have a drug problem. So please stop trying to mess up for others that really need it. You need help or change your meds to something that works for you. Because staying up from taking meds is not good. That's just natural common sense.

Re: Coution Rapp (# 30)
The reason they take these medications off the market is because they are very DANGEROUS and often over prescribed! They are not taken off the market because someone asked for advice in a medchat room. People who wind up addicted to or abusing their medications never start out intending to become addicted. No one wakes up one morning and says, "Hey, I think today is a good day to become a drug addict!". At least that's not the way it went for me. I was a 20 year old kid that had no clue what I was getting myself into when the doctor casually prescribed me that first bottle of medicine. Spent 9 years in a nightmare but I'm proud to say that I'm over 9 years sober today. I am responsible for my recovery. I don't waste my time trying to blame my addiction on anyone or anything. But doctors need far more education about addiction since they are the ones putting this poison into people's hands. As for medications being taken off the market... I definitely think some need to go. At least until and unless doctors better understand the devastation the medication may cause to a person, families, communities, etc...

Re: Chevymama (# 13)
I do agree that Adderall at 10 mg would most likely not keep anyone awake for 20 hours. I do however, want to share something my pain management drs. tried with this drug. I have Ehlers Dantos, a tissue disorder. A number of symptoms are associated with this genetic disease, but one of the worst for me is fatigue. I have tried Provigil, Nuvigil and their generic compounds. none have worked consistently except the generic made by Teva who makes the brand name as well. The generic from Mylan Co. does not work, at least for me. I have great insurance, but I am medicar age, and the nuvigil generic is incredibly expensive. Because I do not have ADD, or ADHD, my Dr. prescribed Adderall for my overwhelming fatigue. I take 30 mg of Amphetamine salts twice a day. The second dose I take around 2pm. It has made a huge difference in my fatigue and focus. It is also much less expensive. I never feel jittery or have any negative side effects. Just wanted to share.
