R3061 - Adderall

I am a male 45 years old and psychiatrist diagnosed me with ADD. It took me years and years to finally admit I had an issue so I looked for a psychiatrist. She started me on Vynase and worked my way up to 50mg, I did last long for me so the other day she switched me to Adderall 30mg. I picked it up this morning and was a generic brand and on the orange capsule says R3061. I took one at 730 this morning and did not feel anything except a couple hours later very lethargic. I know I was not suppose to take another one but I did and did not feel anything. I called the cvs phamasist to ask if there is a difference between the brand name and the generic I am on based on what I have read here and other places and his response was I would have the same reaction if I was on the brand or generic. My dr asked me to wait till Monday to give her an update but not sure if I have any options. I just want to have something work and at the very least not make me tired and worse. any advice is appreciated and I know it is a journey to find the right medication and dosage but from what it sounds the brand name works and this doesn't.

Hello, Chris! How are you?

I have to agree with your doctor, you should give it a few more days to see how it affects you.

You are dealing with two issues, stopping the prior medication and starting a new one, thus there are basically some withdrawal effects being added in.

As to the brand name working and this one not, it's really too soon to say, especially since you've not tried both. The differences between the brand and generic are very slight and usually don't cause problems for most people.

Has there been any improvement?
