Oval Round Orange Adderall

I've been prescribed 3 20mg Adderalls a day for 18 years and I've always gotten the orange ovals and they've worked great for me, but due to losing my insurance I hadn't had them for awial but I just started getting them again today and when I filled my script I got home to find out that they gave me the round bright pink ones which I've never seen in my life and everyone else I know that is prescribed them told me they have never seen them either, but I looked them up and confirmed they are Adderall so I took 1 at a time to be safe and by the time i had gotten to my 3rd prescribed pill for the day I didn't feel any different except for having a pounding headache that started 30 minutes after taking the first one and I just had dry mouth, but before I call my doc...

Is there a difference in the potency of the generic oval orange 30mg and the generic round pink 30 mg? ## 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). Pink 30mg generic Amphetamine + Dextroamphetamine tablets (imprinted Cor 136) with a National Drug Code of 64720-0136 contain the following inactive ingredients: - Lactose Monohydrate - Magnesium Stearate - Cellulose, Microcrystalline -...

I have had adderall 20ml,I take 2 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon that were round and pink. Then they gave me the oval orange 20ml same dose .I can tell the difference it's not as good and does not keep me focus . can someone tell me if there is a difference... ## Yes, there can be fluctuations in generic medications. The FDA does allow them to differ, in the amount of the active ingredient, but as much as plus or minus 20%. They consider this an acceptable therapeutic window. Problems, however, can arise, because they only have to measure against the name brand, not other generics, so one may have a slightly lower amount than another one. For some people, the difference isn't noticeable and they have no problems, with it. But, when someone is sensitive to a medication, an...

I agree with you all in the difference between the peach oval generic pills vs. the orange round generic pills. The oval ones - I stay focused throughout the day at my job with almost no side effects. Recently, my normal pharmacy who I have picked my prescriptions up from for the 7 years switched to the round orange ones. Assuming they were the "same", I took them. The first day I already could notice a HUGE difference! My biggest complaint was the headaches! Not to mention very irritable, fatigue, weakness. I am not sure what the difference is in these two pharmaceutical companies BUT something is not right with those orange round ones. ## There can be some slight fluctuations in generic medications, they are actually allowed to differ from the name brand by as much as plus or ...

I recently got the pink round 30 mg tablets and I find they make me tense up a lot more... sore muscles, shaky, hard to get motivated because I'm so distracted from the negative side effects... The only way I like this brand is if I take a Benzo with them to counteract. ## Hi, I think because there is a shortage right now, they are giving out corr brand vs teva(the orange ovals). The only thing I DO like about the pink ones is that they work super fast, like in 10-15 min, where the orange ones take around 45-1 hr. But yes the pink ones are a bit ruff. ## From what I could gather, it looks like the only differences between these two medications are found within the list of inactive ingredients. I went ahead and posted the list for each tablet so you can see for yourself what changes ...

Certain types of 30 mg adderall (mainly the big, pink & as of recent orange round ones cut with a cross imprint), tend to not work as well 4 me as the 1's I always used to get orange oval-shaped 1's that read 30 & split in the middle; & kinda tasted like candy). This time I was filled em & the Pharm. Tech said the Manuf. is TEVA. Haven't pk.'d em up yet..wondering which they were. Been searching 4 an image online but so far no luck. ## I don't have an image to post for you, due to copyright reasons. However, I can provide you the markings and description of the 30mg mixed amphetamine salts tablet that is manufactured by Teva. It is oval, an orangish peach color and has b over 974 on one side, with a 30 on the other. Is there anything else I can help w...

Is the round pink 30 mg Adderall generic name Sandoz/Eon with the markings of CDR 136 on one side more or less effective than the oval orange 30 mg Adderall generic name Barr/Teva with the markings of b974 on one side and 30 on the other side? What is the most effective/potent Adderall that is generic and 30 mg? ## Certain "inactive" ingredients that may or may not be present in each of these brands, are actually detrimental to how the drug is metabolized and used by your body. So it's quite possible that you may respond favorably with one medication and not the other (even if they are the same drug & same dosage); mostly due to how you feel or based on whatever side effects present themselves. Have you taken either one of them yet? I'd probably suggest giving them e...

I take the amphetamin salts combo tablet and on occation I have had problems getting this filled because of the shortage there seems to be with this particular medication. My question is why is it that sometimes I get a round pink tablet and other times I get an oval orange tablet? I don't think that the pink tabs work as well as the orange. Why is that and which one is better? ## The reason you sometimes get a different is due to the fact that this is a generic medication, so it is manufactured by several different companies. In such cases, it is normal for a pharmacy to switch and provide the one from whichever company has the cheapest price, when they need to restock their supply. This is how they keep prices down for customers that don't have insurance. Learn more Adderall d...

adderall 111E ## It is an orange oval tablet with number of mg on one side or can be pink round tablet, ## Is methadone bad for you? ## The tablet with the E 111 marking is manufactured by Sandoz Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 10mgs of Mixed Amphetamine salts, which is a generic for Adderall. It is most commonly used to treat ADHD, narcolepsy, and shift work sleep disorder. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, insomnia, and anorexia, Brett, what are the markings on the tablet in question? Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you! Regina, it is an opiate narcotic, so it can be bad for you, if you exceed the prescribed dosage, or take more than has been prescribed.

pink pills oval 93/31 ## My daughyer has been taking Adderall for about 8 yrs 20mg twice daily,generic,orange,oval,20mg on one side,6/973 on thee other side.Whent to Walgreens and says on bottle D-AMPHETAMINE SALT COMBO20mg.They are round,pink,on one side it has cor 135.Have never seen tis color or number.Is it the same thing? I hope so .ASAP. Thank You ## Yes, it is the same drug, just made by a different manufacturer. Once a drug is available for generic production, it is quite often made by many different companies and each one, according to law, must have a different marking to enable an accurate identification of the dosage and manufacturer in case of an emergency. In addition most pharmacies generally carry whatever generic they can get cheapest from their suppliers, so sometimes ...
