Rhodes Pharmaceuticals Adderall (Top voted first)

I've tried and used Teva/Barr, Lannett, Core pharma, AURO (worst imo), and now just got Rhodes. Not sure if Rhodes is making me spacey, sleepy, anxious and low energy, bloated, headache. All are often indications that the active ingredients are meh.

There are so many manufacturers out nowadays, it's a revolving door and it's adding to the already difficult challenges many people have experienced since the pandemic. Lordy.

Rhodes? Anyone?

The FDA does not consider all generics to be equivalent. Far from it. They acknowledge a +/- 10% in active ingredient deviation from the brand name; anda's are granted simply by a paper application, there is little oversight; and ingredients like binders and quite a bit. There is almost nothing actually and factually equivalent. They assume it but it's mostly an honor system. Implicit generics.

Hi, I was on Rhodes Adderall for 1 month and it was a nightmare. I might as well have been off my ADD med altogether. It was like taking a sugar pill except it made me sleepy, angry, bloated... I gained 4 pounds. I had heart palpitations and headaches

Re: retrovirus (# 9)

If tolerance is the main reason for Rx not working like it used to, why would it work again, like it used to, when you're able to obtain a different brand?

Your explanation of tolerance is accurate but that's not the issue we're discussing.

No this isn’t true, I’m taking this medication on and off for years and if one day it’s fine and then the next fill you get a different kind and it is not that’s not tolerance. It’s bad medication.

I agree. 2nd month in a row, just got Rhodes. It's afternoon and I haven't done a thing. My doctor even puts in the Rx to use Lannett Co, but I think the pharmacy gets whatever. It's disgusting that all these pharma companies get away with making inferior and sometimes harmful products. Really, what good is the FDA?

I just started back on ADHD meds after a 2 year hiatus. Starting on a very low dose. Last month there where some nice moments of Aha, I think this might be helping. It was manufactured by Teva.
The refill by a different manufacturer, Rhodes, is a different story. Instead of a "sugar pill" it feels like a salt pill. The inside of my bottom lip and the tip of my tongue feel like I've been munching on roasted salted almonds for days, making my mouth feel irritated and sore. I look bloated and I've been belching a lot. Sure, these physical changes could be due to some other issue, but the benefit of this Adderall IR 10mg manufactured by Rhodes is nill at best.

Thanks. I have been unsure about it. It seems better than nothing at all. But I definitely feel this huge "I'll get to that later with anything requiring mental focus... Reading, brain work...etc.". Physically I can function but it's a push. Teva and Lannett are the only brands that ever seemed to work for me. In 2011 Sandoz was ok.

Grrr..

Re: Possum (# 11)

I received Rhodes 20mg IR this month and it is 100% trash. Absolutely no therapeutic benefits. No side effects. NOTHING. Another month of Hell. Don't kid yourself & think the FDA cares or will take action. People have been reporting all the issues with generic Adderall for several years now. A life-long friend actually failed his drug panel because his 30mg IR didn't even show in his system. Pockets are being lined by Big Pharma. Anyone who thinks the current administration cares about US citizens or people for that matter is an ******.

Re: retrovirus (# 7)

Wrong wrong wrong. Don't tell us we're used to the drug or built a tolerance. I had the same reaction to rhodes adderall. I have been on the teva brand for 9 yrs now and when I take it I feel "normal". One time I was given Lannett brand.... I broke out in hives and a rash all on my upper body. Their medication made me irritable angry almost violent plus a constant headache that would not go away. SO NO MR. I KNOW IT ALL.... ITS NOT IN OUR HEAD, WE'RE NOT CRAZY OR ABUSING OUR MEDICATION. ITS THAT THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT AND EFFECT PPL DIFFERENTLY.

I've filled out three over the past two years. I've seen many others reporting to FDA. Nothing has been done. I don't believe anything will be done unfortunately.

Same, took it for a month and it was a nightmare. Will never take again even if it is all that's available.

All I'm gonna say is please for the love of all that is holy STAY AWAY FROM RHODES ADDERALL. This brand is TRASH. No ability to focus, spaced out, heart thumping extremely hard, splitting headache. I don't care if the Adderall side effects are potentially those. I've been on other brands of Adderall many times and they all perform differently. One the good brands none of these side effects are present. Just do yourself a favor and don't risk getting this GARBAGE brand of Adderall. Or any medication they make for that matter.

Re: Sikntired (# 36)

Please fill out a medwatch report to the FDA online I’ve been doing that about Aurobindo Adderall every time I got stuck with one of their generics because I am almost positive they were fake. And look - Aurobindo doesn’t make them anymore. Lol I wonder why?

Re: Sikntired (# 36)

Yes I would agree based on my research. Purdue pharma learned that they could make billion's $ via corruption and lobbying... And of caught, pay out $10B and still end up.$20B ahead.

There isnt sufficient FDA oversight or financial downside for them to be honest players. It's just a fact..not even speculating.

Been taking Adderall for 15 years. I’ve never used a brand that didn’t work at all until now. Which is Rhodes. Absolute garbage. The only thing it gives is me is a bad headache and dry mouth. It helps in no way whatsoever. Walgreens uses Rhodes now, but CVS doesn’t they mainly order from Teva unless Teva is on back oder then a few other brands but not Rhodes. Might just be for my area in Alabama. Is there anyway to make a complaint about this crap medication other than to the pharmacy? Waste of money and doctors visits just to pay for a headache.

Re: Rcma (# 50)

I'm on Rhodes Adderall XR 20mg for the first time this month due to the ongoing shortage. This stuff is crap. I was wondering what's been wrong with me that my productivity has tanked in the past 2 weeks with fatigue and brain fog. I contemplated having my doc up my dosage because I feel like my dosage was cut in half all of a sudden. Then a lightbulb went off, and I researched Rhodes manufactured Adderall online. The interwebs are rife with commentary that Rhodes's product is subpar and not effective. At least I know now that I'm not going crazy and that I don't also need an increase in meds. I may just pay full price for branded Adderall XR if the shortage persists - while it's pricey as hell, I've lost at least the difference in cost in productivity and mental health issues... LOL

I recently got Rhodes for my generic Adderall 20 mg XR for the first time and it makes me extremely nauseous. I’ve never had a generic make me this nauseous before! I hate it.
