Shire Adderall

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...

i am trying to identify a small light blue pill with N008 on one side and a score in the middle of the other side. I was told that it is a 20mg Adderall. I have seen blue Adderall but they are 10mg. ## Hello, Stephanie! How are you? The round, blue tablet with the N008 marking actually contains 20mgs of Propranolol, which is a beta blocker that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure, certain cardiac conditions and some migraines. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, hypotension and dry cough. Is there anything else I can help with? ## d amphetamine combo salts and name brands are SO effective at 20mg. Generic Adderall and brand names are "Orange book's" - 99.5% in efficacy. SHIRES Adderall is still superior. But the generic versi...

I need to find a coupon for 15 mg ## We've had several other people ask recently and, from what I can find, it appears that Shire no longer provides an assistance program for Adderall, since it is a controlled substance. Are you on the regular release formulation? If so, there are generics available that would be much cheaper, if you don't have insurance coverage. Also, have you discussed your other treatment options with your doctor? ## I need Adderall and can't afford it. I am jobless right now and have 3 children.

cant afford my medication ## this site does not manufacture, prescribe, nor sell any medications, this is an information only website. And as to assistance for Adderall, unfortunately, the manufacturer, Shire Pharmaceuticals, has discontinued the program for this medication.

I would like some input on Adderall 20 mg Instant Release. I have been through four manufacturers. I was on Activist and lots of people did not like it, however it worked for me. It had its fault but in the end it was recalled. Sometime during that period Teva bought out Activist. Since then I haven't been able to get an instant release to work without bad side effects. Then I was told there was a Name Brand being sold by Teva. I was able to get this with pill logo dp 20. I took only ten milligrams and my heart was racing out of control. I called the F D A and they advised me that the pill with imprint dp 20 was a generic. What I would like to know is how can it be Name Brand when through research shows after Shire discontinued AD 20 there was no other name brand. I have looked up N...

need coupon for 20mg adderral ## I'm sorry, but this site doesn't manufacture any medications, so this site doesn't have a coupon program for you and I can also tell you that the manufacturer, Shire Pharmaceuticals, does not currently have an assistance program for this medication. If you are on the regular release formulation, have you spoken to your doctor or pharmacy about trying the generic product? There is one available for this, it's called Mixed Amphetamine Salts and is much cheaper than the name brand. Adderall can cause some side effects, such as: nausea, headache, insomnia and anorexia.

My daughter is on this medication and currently does not have insurance for the next two months. I was hoping to contact the manufacture so I can see if she can get it at no cost until her new job insurance kicks in. This months RX was $175 and we can not afford to pay this high out of pocket cost for this medication. Any advice on how we can get this RX at no cost for the next two months would be appreciated. Thank you, Mike ## I really wish I could help, but the manufacturer, Shire no longer offers an assistance program for Adderall XR. Many of the programs for controlled substances have been discontinued, due to the ever increasing risk of theft and diversion. When they send you a medication through these types of programs, they usually send it via postal mail, right to you, which is...

Please list coupons as I cannot afford this medication otherwise. {edited for privacy} ## I'm sorry, this site does not manufacture nor sell any medications, this is an information only website, so we have no coupons to provide you with any assistance. As to assistance for Adderall, it is manufactured by Shire Pharmaceuticals and they program they had for it is not currently accepting new applicants. I also tried searching for general discount coupons, but those also come from the company and I can't find any that are still valid. Have you tried asking your doctor about using a cheaper alternative? ## Yes. I have been on Adhd medication on and off since I was 11 (I'm 27 now) and we have tried concerta, ritalin, phentermine, adderall 40 mg (not xr) and several others... the a...

My local pharmacy filled my prescription for Adderall ER 30mg. with the ACTAVIS EL instead of the TEVA USA brand, and I noticed that things were drastically different. First, I noticed mild radiating warmth in the left side of my chest… but, we all know that’s fairly common. Second, I had to constantly remind myself to stop grinding my dam teeth, “I’m a musician and always think of music as if I were playing drum parts with my teeth… f***ing annoying”. Third, was the need to crack every joint in my body such as ankles, toes, wrists, fingers, neck… you get my drift. Forth, I got far “DIZZY-UUUURR…….RR” than with other Adderall ER generics such as Teva USA or Shire. Fifth, I finally checked the label and noticed that it was...

I was taking Adderall XR Barr, I didn't like it! Then shire XR which was way better. I could focus, study, multi task, pay attention etc.....Then my psychiatrist switched me to instant release. I started taking Adderall 30mg IR. The manufacture is Teva USA. It taste like candy! It keeps me up yet I'm not energized or focused. I asked the pharmacist which manufacture carries brand Authentic Adderall? She said Teva USA is the only band adderall for 30 mg IR. Is that true? I feel like shire xr was way better?!? ## Hi May, From what I could gather, Barr Laboratories is a Division of Teva USA and they appear to be the only one making Adderall IR 30mg (at least in my investigation). If you prefer taking a different manufacturer's version I would encourage you talk with your psychi...

My dad set me up with a doctor who agreed to put me on adderall. I got the bottle today and it says: Oval Blue b 972...... Genneric for adderall. Does this product work well? I have previously been taking XR of adderall and I'm hesitant to change ## This is a 10mg tablet of Mixed Amphetamine salts, so a generic for Adderall, however, the only way to see if it will work for you is by actually trying it. What works well for one person may not work well for another and vice versa. Did you discuss your concerns with the doctor? ## Unfortunately, two substitutes that were around for decades, "Dexedrine Sulfate 5mg" by Glaxo Smith Kline, and, "Dextrostat" by Richwood Pharma, later, by Shire US, have both been removed off of the USA market, during 2008 thru 2009.

No insurance and they are charging me 301.. ## Depending on the dose the price per pill may vary. Generics are another way of cutting costs. Shire has programs if you qualify. Good luck ## Anyone can use Rx coupons.. I get 120 30 mg mixed amphetamine salts, the orange Teva with a coupon is 83.63 at walgreens. ## Hi kassie, there are rx coupons available for generic Adderall. For example, this site offers a free Rx Discount Card which you can bring to your pharmacy when you refill your script. It can typically save you 20% or more, is reusable, and doesn't expire.

orange capsule ## This capsule is no longer made, it is Adderall Extended Release 20mgs, the new capsules have been changed so they just say Adderall XR on the top and 20mg on the bottom. ## Why was the Brand Adderall XR w/ imprint SHIRE 381 more effective than the Adderall XR w/ imprint ADDERALL XR? Are the ingredientsdifferent? Why aren't they made anymore?

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 take teva brand (the orange 30mg), quantity 90. I live in wilson nc. The pink and the white ones make me sick. Where's the closest pharmacy from me? ## Do you have a Walgreen's. That is were I get mine. However their is a huge difference in their quality from the ones from the original manufacturer Shire, but those are only XL version. If you can get Sandoz brand I would go with them for IR. ## If your insurance offers it, I would try their mail-order pharmacy over any big box stores without a second thought to it... Given they are mostly former/current wholesale companies who've gone retail via mail order (or they're as big as the wholesale providers so are less expensive & have more inventory), they give good quality generics I've found so far (about a year u...

Adderall xr 20 mg and M. Amphet Salts 20 mg. Are these the exact same medications? Are they both manufactured my Shire? Does Shire provide Teva/Barr with the generic version of Adderall xr under the name M. Amphet Salts 20mg? Thank you.... ## In order to tell you the manufacturer, you need to provide the markings or imprints on the capsules in question. I do, however, doubt this is the case, because TEVA manufacturer's their own generic medications. Both items that you described are the same medication, the only different you listed was one being controlled release, I do not know if the other one is controlled release or not, from what you provided. There are many companies that make generic medications. Can you please post back with the imprint? I will gladly check to see who makes...

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...
