I have been taking adderall 30mg for two years now and it really helps me. but my last script I got filled was a blue capsule and is a generic brand..Dextroamp. this is awful. I refuse to take these pills. but due to my ins I can not get them changed..I know it depends on what mfg your pharmacist goes with. but my point is how can they even sell these things to drug stores anyways.. my doctor also told me they get lots of complaints on these pills and that they are gonna check further into the mfg of these things.. ## Hello, Debora! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems that you've had. What are the markings on it? That would enable me to check more information on it for you. The color isn't enough to go on. The FDA lists this medication as carrying the risk of bein...

My insurance only pays for the brand Adderall pills and does not support the generic. The doctor started me off with 20mg of XR daily. After a couple weeks, those didn't seem to work as well so she upped my dose to 30mg XR. I was looking at the 20mg and comparing what they looked liked to the 30mg. The 20mg had on them M.Salts or something like that the name Adderall wasn't listed anywhere. Both pills are oblong and orange; the 30mg says AdderallXR 30mg right on the pill. What disturbs me is that the name on the 20 mg pill is the generic name and if this is the case, I want my ridiculous co pay back. On the side of the pill bottle where it talks about what the pill should look like, it says orange, oblong, AdderallXR 20mg. Isn't this illegal? I called the pharmacy and he ope...

How do I find the fillers in the Adderall 20mg XR generic by Shire? It is not an authorized generic so inactive ingredients of one might be different from inactive ingredients of other. Very bad response to shire generic, hoping it is difference in inactive substances versus adderall suddenly being not good for me. Thanks in advance for any suggestions ## I'm not sure what you mean that it's not an authorized generic. If a generic is available on the U.S. market then it has been legally authorized by the FDA. Additionally, Shire doesn't manufacture a generic, they manufacture the name brand Adderall. And the inactive ingredients can always differ from one manufacturer to another, they just have to pick from the list of substances that the FDA has on their list. Can you pleas...

looking for free trial adderall xl ## We've had several people asking for these recently and I am sorry to say that there are no current coupons available, the manufacturer is no longer even offering their assistance program for those without drug coverage. Adderall contains Mixed Amphetamine Salts and is most commonly used to treat ADHD and Narcolepsy. Common side effects may include: nausea, headache, insomnia and anorexia. Learn more: Are there any other questions or comments? ## my son was prescrbed adderall xr and I wanted to see if there was a coupon for it. ## my dr gave me a prescription for a 90 day supply of the Brand name adderall xr 25mg because of the shortage on all the generics, and my insurance will not pay anything on the name brand medication. they rather me switch...

I have been on Adderall XR 20mg once a day and my dr wrote it for 10mg twice daily; yet the pharmacist filled regular generic adderall xr; I know this because I compared those with a photo from Barr! What should I do? ## I made an error; he filled generic adderall 10mg IR; Not XR as my Dr had written by Barr! ## Don't be alarmed, Adderall 20 mg and the generic version of Adderall 10 mg are the same. The only difference is the mg's. If you feel concerned I would phone your MD and ask he/she what you should do. Or you can even speak with your pharmacist if you can't phone your MD. ## In regards to IR and XR: IR simply means Instant Release, and XR means Extended Release. 20 mg of Adderall XR is supposed to last throughout the day. The 10 mg of Adderall IR is to help instantly ...

Does anyone know the color of the beads that are instant release in the Shire 30 mg. I am trying to find this out because the long acting beads stay active to long preventing sleep and the Shire Brand is the only decent Adderall. I believe the two colors are white and a orange lookin beige. It would be pain staking to separate them but worth getting the 15 mg IR out of the 30. ## It would actually be much easier and safer to ask your doctor to prescribe the regular release formulation. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia and anorexia. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## My physician has written several prescriptions of instant release given me 3 at a time to see how...

Which is the better generic company? I just got GLOBAL and they are like taking sleeping pills. I'm sleeping 20 to 24 hours a day for days. If I didn't need to pee, I might never wake up. Can any body help me before I go back to sleep? ## Ive never heard of anybody falling asleep on adderall thats really weird....ur the first one i heard of that slept on them...maybe its intensifying another medication u take. I would talk to a doctor and tell them it done a friend like that u dont have to say u done that...goodluck ## Everyone is different. Been taking it for 15+ years and still have different reactions with the many brands or foods/drinks. Magnesium is another . Maybe get ir not the xr. xr drags the dose out over time. I hate the XR for this reason. Maybe its time to up your d...

I used to take Barr 40mg IR a day (30 in AM, and 10 in afternoon). I wanted to try XR, and was able to receive name brand Adderall XR from Shire 30mg in morning and 10 in afternoon. I started my med journey 6 months ago, titrating up 5-10mg a month with Barr IR. I had side effects in the beginning of my journey, but they subsided. Is it possible to get side effects all over again when switching over to the name brand since I am used to my specific generic IR, or is it just at that XR doesn't work for me?? ## Hello, MissG! How are you doing? Yes, switching to the name brand could possibly cause you to experience side effects, again. There is a chance that the generic was slightly lower in the active ingredient, as described by the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984. The FDA classifies this med...

i have noticed the changes in all adderall..whether talking ir or xr, adderall brand names or other manufacturers (sandox ect) not at all the same effects ## Well. there can be some variations from one manufacturer to the other, in both the active and inactive ingredients. When you know which one works for you, you should keep track of who manufactured it and go back to the same pharmacy you got it from. Or, if they switch, call around to see if another has it or request that they order it in for you. What manufacturer have you found to work best? ## vern...i have found none to be satisfactory since the original adderall ir and the xr changed formulations. this is documented fact now, although kept quite undercover for a long time. some very persistant people uncovered the whole patent ...

Pharmacy recently switched me to new generic brand (blue capsule) of adderall XR. I have never seen this brand and I don't feel like it is effective. I lack concentration and focus, recurring symptoms of ADHD. Anyone else experience this? ## There can be some slight fluctuations in the amount of active ingredient in generic medications. The FDA considers these fluctuations to be acceptable therapeutic windows, but some people are more sensitive than others and experience problems with any slight change in their medication. Learn more Adderall details here. If you have insurance, you could try asking your doctor to prescribe it as 'brand medically necessary' so your insurance will cover it and you won't experience such fluctuations in the future, or your can try asking yo...

I was taking 15mg Adderall XR white and clear capsules with blue inside and they worked great for about 6-8 hours then I crashed. I asked my Dr. about it and he just said we would try it for another month. Ok, however, when I got my new prescription, it was generic. I never thought anything of it. I have been taking it for about a week the same dose and directions as before. I am not getting the same results, I don't crash, but that is probably because it doesn't even feel like it is working. What i have now is a white and peachish colored capsule and it says Amphetamine ER on the bottle. I am just wondering if I am not getting the same amount of medicine as I was with the name brand and if maybe anyone else has had this issue. ## There can be slight fluctuations in the active i...

Has anyone who takes name brand Adderall XR 30 mg - 2 x/day tried to take a drug holiday and if so, what are your side effects. I would like to try but I have a morphine pump at about 30 mg continuous release/day and think I might become comotose. I would really like to stop the adderall for a short time so it doesn't become less effective than it has already become and I have no idea what it can be relaced with. ## If you've been taking it for a long time, you may experience withdrawals, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and irritability, since it can be habit forming. How are you doing? Why do you feel that it has become less effective? There are other stimulants available on the market, such as Dexedrine, and Focalin. Your doctor should be ...

The pulls r in a capsule orange and white supposed to be 30 xrs adderall a inside the continents r HUGE SQUARE WHITE BEADS LIKE 8 TO A PILL? NEVER SEEN THIS B4.. AND I HAVE SEEN THE WHITE. . Name brand adderall w white little beads these do not resemble those . ## Hi Whitney, If you got your prescription filled at a licensed pharmacy I wouldn't worry too much about the look of the pill (which may vary depending upon who the manufacturer is). Real pharmacies don't give out counterfeits. However if it doesn't work as well as a previous brand/generic you were getting before then I think it would be best to contact your doctor and see if he/she is willing to write a specific manufacturer's name on your next refill; one that you're used to taking with a proven track recor...

I appreciate your time, does anyone know where I'd be able to find a list of fillers used in Adderall xr 20mg? A few years ago I was diagnosed with a blood allergy to corn and wheat and a few months ago I started having reactions every day about the same time as my medication was releasing. I have checked everywhere to find a list and have found nothing. I know it can vary, but if there is something I can at least reference because it just started recently. Thanks so much! ## Yes, it may vary if you are taking a generic or a name brand. However, in the name brand Adderall XR, the inactive ingredients are: gelatin capsules, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, methacrylic acid copolymer, opadry beige, sugar spheres, talc, and triethyl citrate. I don't see anything in this list that scr...

Generic Adderall XR manufactured by Actavis is not the same formulation as was used by Shire/Teva. The efficacy of the drug does not exist in Actavis' version. I plan on filing a complaint with the manufacturer. I encourage others who are not receiving the expected results with Actavis' product to do the same. Be sure call your pharmacy and get the lot number of your capsules. Luckily, I am a chemist who has access to analytical equipment that will help me identify and quantitate this medication. I am unsure if it is indeed amphetamine salts and will not take my prescription. I want to know what I am putting in my body. Until this mystery is solved, I will paying for Brand. ## I'm afraid that you won't actually have a legitimate complaint against the manufacturer. There ...

I have not opened it up but I have taken the brand-name reddish Adderall XR 20mg for quite awhile. This is probably a reverse placebo effect, but the blue one seem less strong oe less smoothe. Still, they work just fine. ## Hi Annie, The 20mg blue pill you're describing marked "R 3060" happens to be manufactured by Actavis Elizabeth LLC. So if your other pill was made by a different company, it's likely that they contained a different set of inactive ingredients (binders/fillers). From what I understand many of these substances are identified as toxins by our bodies, and can even have a significant impact on the drug's overall potency and effectiveness. And because this particular pill by Actavis is in generic form, the FDA allows it to contain up to 20% more or less...

Hello. I've been taking Sandoz Adderall IR for about 5 months now, so far so good. I am taking around 10mg x2 a day and it doesn't last long enough, and when the crash comes I become very confused and bored. 1. Does Sandoz make Adderall XR? If so, is it any good compared to other brands or generics? 2. If not, what is the best generic for Adderall XR? ## Hello Tyler, Yes Sandoz has been making an XR version of their Adderall since mid 2017. Due to the ingredients being different in the XR, as well as other generics, I wouldn't be able to tell you which one would work best for you. It's also worth noting that since you would be switching to the XR the medication may not have as strong of an impact as it used to due to the lower dosages of active ingredients in your system...

I have blue capsules that say adderall xr 30 mg on them but they have only white beads. Is this generic or brand? And how are these different from the orange 30 mg adderall xr with the white and orange beads? ## @Ricky, When you switch between different manufacturers, the only noticeable thing I'm aware of that actually changes are the inactive ingredients (binders/fillers), so that could be one reason why the beads are different colors - different dyes? As to whether or not it's a generic or brand that you have, my research shows that the orange 30mg pill marked with "Adderall XR" is indeed a brand name and not generic. The blue capsule on the other hand is also reported to be brand name Adderall XR... however, I'm seeing conflicting information from Shire Pharmaceu...

Looking for a XR 30mg generic coupon. ## Coupons are not available for generic medications, by the very nature of their being generic, they are usually cheaper than the name brand, even without coupons. Even for the name brand Adderall XR, there are no current coupons and the manufacturer has also discontinued their assistance program for it. Have you tried just shopping around to check prices at different pharmacies in your area? Editor's note: this message has been deemed out of date and inaccurate. ## That response is 100% wrong. I have been on adderall for 9 years now and when i lost my insurance, i switched to generic about 5 years ago, and I have an internet coupon that I printed off and use as insurance and it knocks down the originally 80 something dollars to like 30 somethi...
