I realize this is an only thread however Adderall is made up of about 75% dexadrine and 25% slightly different Amphetamine salt. For me I had gotten to taking 60mg of the generic Adderall instant release tabs in 2x30 mg per day in order to work. The manufacturer that was the best (generic) at least for me is/was Teva but that also came w side effects. It made me jittery and grumpy. So a number of years ago my brother suggested what he was taking was much better. Which was Mallinckrodt 10mg instant release to this day, now probably 5 years later that is what I try to get, sometimes with ease but usually a wild goose chase and it’s not fun when you are out of meds and having to chase it down. I got my prescription filled last month with Aerobindo (sorry about the spelling) in any event it was terrible and very ineffective for me. So here I am again trying to fill my prescription and not too much luck yet. I digress, without the meds I am a space cadet. Anyhow my point was going from adderall 2x30mg per day I started with 4x10mg of the Mallinckrodt and that was pretty good taking 10mg about 2-3 hours apart through the day for about a year but it wasn’t quite doing the trick so we bumped it to 5x per day and I usually do 1 poll every 2 hours as needed, weekends or chilling around the house I’ll skip a pill or two a day, which comes in handy when you get a shortage and can’t get it filled or end up with a brand that doesn’t work.

I now ask my MD, to write Mallinckrodt on the prescription and that helps at least so I don’t get it filled with other brands, if they write Mallinckrodt (or another manufacturer on the script that works for you) the pharmacy won’t fill it with a substitute, but if they write the manufacturer AND “no-sub” the pharmacy won’t fill with a different manufacturer even if you ask them... then you have to go back to your doc and get a new script. It’s a pain In The rear and I’m venting b/c I am frustrated sorry. I hope in my rant that someone finds something beneficial. Good luck everyone.

Thank You! Im just now seeing this response lol, I had meant to say Justin in my previous message but said Mike, who knows why lol... Probably got distracted (ADD Kicked in lol), but anyways I appreciate that info, Now I'm just wondering if anyone has ever tried both adderral and dexo and in their opinion which one worked better? I might talk to my doctor about possibly switching from the adderall to try something else, the adderall still works but I'm taking 20-30mg a day and 4yrs ago when I first started taking it I was only taking 10mg, I hate how our bodies build a tolerance to these medications and over time we need more & more to be effective :-/

Tiff,
I am not seeing a Mike, so I will try to field your question. Yes Dexedrine and Adderall, from my research, are one in the same and they are both prescribed for ADHD, as well as Narcalepsy. And, as far as I know, they both are now only available in sustained-release capsules or “Spansules”.

I have had one Doctor tell me that generic Dexidrine is Dextroamphetamine and another tell me it is Adderall is, so I assume they are both essentially the same. If not, at least when you look up the generic forms of both brand name tablets they both point to the same generic manufacturers tablets.

From my research, and someone PLEASE correct me if I am wrong, I think the difference in the two is that Detroamphetamine is a derivative of “Mixed Amphetamine Salts”, so even if the ratios of these “Salts” are the same, whatever inert ingredient they compound these mixtures with, as I think someone had mentioned before in this forum or another, seems to be why the 2 different generic manufacturers I know of, Teva/Barr and CorePharma, seem to metabolize differently for each individual.

I’m sure I have given you TMI, but if this is all new to you, I hope this other info will make more since later.

Try Walgreens in Akron, I know the Walgreens in Ravenna will actually order from specific manufacturers upon request, Also, I had my doctor add "No Corepharma Brand" on my monthly script I pick up so now pharmacies have to order from another pharmaceutical company, I know you take something different but whenever you call your doctor for your refill tell them to add whatever it is that your requesting or needing onto the script, I didn't even need to see the doctor, i just requested it on the phone and they added it to my script!

I have recently come across the same problem in finding the CorePharma generic manufacturer of Adderall, and was told by two different pharmacies that they have no control as to whether they receive the Barr, or the CorePharma brand generic, so it is basically whatever they send them.

I am not familiar with the Mallinckrodt or Zenzedi generic manufacturers, in my research or otherwise, so it might be a regional type of situation or they may be sister companies of Barr and/or CorePharma?...

At any rate, I have found that the CorePharma version metabolizes in my body more consistently and "Immediately" whereas the Barr brand seems to have a delayed reaction and resulting lessor effect due to the slower metabolizing IMO.

the mallinkrodt brand is the closest you will get to name brand molecular structure. i also heard the manufacturer Arbor who produces zenzedi is suppose to be super smooth and last a lil longer than the mallinkrodts

Hello Justin! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

They may have difficulty getting it, at this time, due to shortages that typically occur this time of year. When it comes to controlled substances, all manufacturers have a limit on how much they can manufacture and produce, each year, under direction of the DEA. Once they reach that limit, they cannot manufacture any new product, until after the new year. Inevitably, demand exceeds supply and shortages occur the last few months of the year.

According to the FDA, this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and weight loss.

Does anyone know one from a manufacturer that works as well as this one?
