Adderall Manufacturer Differences

I was taking adderall 10 mg by mouth 3 times a day. Manufactured by Teva. I can't find it at local pharmacy. Anyone know how I can get my medication? ## Hi Shery, I went onto Teva's manufacturer webpage and found a photo of their 10mg Adderall pill (just scroll down a bit): I'm thinking you can simply email the company (using the contact link on their website) and ask them about the pill's availability in your area. Generally, if it is not available, the pharmacy can have it shipped there for your prescription or they can provide you with a different brand/generic of the same drug. Studies show that there are no differences in the quality or effectiveness of generic drugs vs brand name drugs. For more info on this comparison, you can visit the link below: Please post bac...

Just wondered if anyone else has gotten a prescription filled with a round peach pill imprint U 31 on one side, and quarter score on the other ## Yes I got that generic yesterday ## @peter, Just to confirm, a round orange/peach colored pill marked with U 31 is in fact identified as a 30mg generic Amphetamine + Dextroamphetamine tablet. The manufacturer is listed as Aurolife Pharmaceuticals, based in New Jersey. I haven't tried them personally, but did come across a few posts on here stating that they weren't nearly as good as some of the other versions on the market. However, if you're not used to using other brands/generics, I'm not sure if you'd even notice any significant differences at all. I hope this info helps! ## They're horrible. I typically don't no...

I have had two refills of Adderall 20 mg that was manufactured by Teva/barr (Teva) and it seems to have much less medication in each pill. Refills by another manufacturer work. This is ridiculous, and where do we report Teva and who can check each pill for amount for medication? I would gladly donate some of my worthless ones to the FDA? ## You'd have to report any complaints to the FDA, at 888-INFO-FDA. However, there may not actually be anything to report. They do allow generic medications to differ from the name brands, in the amount of the active ingredient, by up to plus or minus 20%. This is considered an acceptable therapeutic window. For most people, these differences don't cause any problems, but if someone is sensitive to medications, it means that one with a slightly ...

I agree with you 100% about them not seemig to work. I thought it was just me. I've been presiscribed for 10 years and the meds have always helped. They turned my life around. Until my pharmacy started carrying these weird crescent symbol 28 pills. I don't know what or why but they don't seem to work at all for me. ## I agree totally I have been on the 30s for years now and never had a problem. These do not work at all!! ## Concerning the differences in efficacy, my theory is that it's more than likely due to whatever discrepancies are found within the list of inactive ingredients, since that's usually the only thing that changes when you switch from one manufacturer's tablet to another. The round orange/peach-colored 30mg Adderall tablet by Actavis (With a Natio...

can they be taken together (adderall 20mg in am and dextroamphetamine 20 in the pm) for add? ## Yes. But to keep from being overmedicated it would be best to talk to your dr. ## Just to clarify, Adderall already contains Dextroamphetamine within its composition of salts. So in terms of safety I don't see any reason why there would be complications with taking them both at separate times throughout the day/night since you would essentially be taking more of the same thing (and at the same 20mg dosage). The only differences I'm aware of might be found within the list of inactive ingredients (binders/fillers), which often vary from one manufacturer to another - and could potentially cause one tablet to work better or worse than the other, depending on how you respond to these chang...

for the last two months 2 different pharmacies gave me some new all orange capsule, supposedly a new generic adderall xr 30 mg. these make me fall asleep and i do not feel the same as the amphetamine salt combo i have been on for three years now. anyone else having the same experience? ## Hi Shaun, When you switch brand names or manufacturers, the drug itself doesn't change, but rather the binders or fillers that they put with it. For this very reason, I believe the differences and side effects you are feeling have a lot to do with certain "inactive" ingredients that may or may not be present in each brand. I'm frustratingly surprised that doctor's and pharmacists don't mention this to their patients, after giving them a completely different script without prior ...
