Common Questions and Answers about Is generic adderall xr just as good

adderall

Avatar n tn 10 mgs of adderall is the lowest prescribed dose (as far as my research can tell), that is offered. Doctors normally start out with the lowest dose and then wait to hear from the parents to see how the dosage is working. That is the only safe way to proceed. Because it is an extended dose (one tablet lasts all day), its effects are smoother -softer highs and lows.

4757133 tn?1358797625 I'm 27 male. I take 2, 30mg adderall one when I wake up at 6:40 am also I take a 10mg adderall tablet.

I also take a 150mg of wellbutrin at about 10am. Now I'm taking a 50mg dose of tramadol for dental problems. And occaisenly a m357 vicodin. Also a bunch of b vitamins and c vitamins. I also drink a lot.
Avatar n tn A friend of mine is prescribed to Adderall 20mg XR, as am I. After a few weeks she felt as if the drug was not working. She opened one of her capsules and found that it looked as if it was sugar inside, as well as tasted like sugar. She did so for 5 capsules and they all contained the same sugar-like substance. It looked completely different from the medicine which a few of her other adderall 20 mg XR capsules in her prescription consisted of.
309783 tn?1271958229 Viepax is simply a new generic version of Effexor XR (Extended Release) The active ingredient is Venlafaxine. (Same as in Effexor XR) The patent on Effexor XR ran out about 8 months ago and now other pharm companies can make generic extended release Effexor. In the last 7 years Effexor XR has made Weith Pharm company 3.5 Billion dollars per year. That Billion not Million. Now you can see why other pharm companies are so eager to get their generic version to market.
Avatar n tn This is a discussion with your psychiatrist, of course, but Adderall, for all the good it's doing you, is speed, and that will exacerbate your anxiety. I think what you need to do is, decide what the worst thing happening is -- the ADHD (and know that this diagnosis is very often wrong), the anxiety, or the depression. You might be a candidate for a category of drugs I don't much like but might be a good compromise for you, which are the snris, which include Effexor, Pristiq, Cymbalta.
Avatar f tn then i guess built up a tolerance to it and started 60mg and i again built up a tolerance to it, my doc says 60 mg is the maximum, so my question is is there another one that is effective that doesn't start out so low i guess or stronger. i hope that makes since to anyone.
Avatar f tn t care what my Doctor said or any other Doctor. Generic Effexor is not the same. I was switched to Generic and now I am having the same side effects as when I tried to go off Effexor. The Brain Shocks and Nausea are terrible.
Avatar m tn Hi guys, I know it's been some time since I last posted something. I was able to get the 120 mg of Adderall xr , and I was feeling better. I wanted to give Dexedrine a chance so as to take a break from Adderall, I was given Dexedrine spansules 90 mg. It is smoother compared to the Adderall, but it doesn't last long as the 120 of Adderall. Dexedrine did bring hope to me as in being another choice other than Adderall, but the 90 mg is not doing it.
Avatar f tn I am considering using a Life coach since I have heard that they are really instrumental in treating this disease by making you accountable for the procrastination, concentration, and organization issues. I take adderall but the generic short acting med. This works good for me so that I can control the ups and downs that this med can cause. When I took the adderall XR, I felt lethargic and it just did not last long at all. After 6 hours, I just wanted to sleep.
Avatar f tn Would suggesting to her to put me on a XR med with my adderall be more effective? She just thinks the 90 is too high but I don't agree. I think I need something more.
Avatar n tn This Tongue problem is the side effect of using Adderall medicine. Adderall should be used as prescribed and should avoid overdose, this tongue problem is a minor side effect and if your problem isn't resolved thn you should need to contact your health specialist. Maybe there is a issue with your dosage.
1100837 tn?1267668675 My doctor just prescribed Adderall 10 mg - 2x/day to address fatigue, brain fog and what he calls "pronounced ADD" symptoms. (Today he told me to take 10mg in the am and 5 mg (cut pill in half) at noon. Is anyone else out there currently using this medication? Are you taking the sustained relaease or the regular dose? Are you taking the brand name or the generic? What are your experiences? I'd like to compare. Thanks.
Avatar f tn I am extremely tired, have anxiety with everything going on around me at once, and I cant concentrate at all, I walked around my kitchen for 15 minutes not knowing why i wass but knew there was a reason then finally got my car keys that i was needing to get in the first place. Is this normal? I was taking 20mg of adderall xr and went to 60mg of vyvanse which i was told was like taking 25 to 30mg of adderall but i feel like im in some sort of withdrawal from adderall.
Avatar n tn The one he is on now is Adderal xr 15mg. It is good by the time he gets to school but in the morning and on bus and after school the pills seem not to work. I don't know if it is him coming off med to soon or if it is not strong enought to last or maybe he is using his illness to misbehave. Either way I am so frustrated and tired to tears. I love him so much. I have custody of him and his older brother. I am 50 yrs old.
Avatar f tn I have a real sensitive stomach and immune system, and am allergic to a lot so I would think that you can handle most of these. The best working were the Daytrana, Adderall XR, and Vyvanse, and the Adderall you are taking may be different than what I take(XR) The other Adderall hurt my stomach and made me sick if I didn't eat, but I have no problem with the XR.
603543 tn?1255294450 The dr gave me generic effexor xr to try instead of regular effexor xr.... i took them over the weekend, had a headache and was tired all weekend..... yesterday i decided to switch back to my reg effexor xr, and my head was clear, i didnt have that heavy tired feeling in my head....i got so much done yesterday i havent felt likethat in so long....today its back to that heavy tired feeling, i was so excited about that feeling yesterday........ how upsetting.....i want that feeling back....
Avatar f tn Adderall 20 mg tablet for some years now (6-7) I requested the generic since it is cheaper, but since it is a tablet and not a capsule, Im aware that all that time it was IR, not XR as the prescription requested. I took a break for about 6 months, and now, going back to school I have started back up on Adderall 20 mg XR capsule.
5717054 tn?1372958545 iv been on Valium forever it stops my paranoia some of my anxiety and insomnia and vertigo too much benzo has paradoxical effect. I just started Adderall 20mds XR First day was bad i figured cause my anxiety.
Avatar n tn For anyone who is on of has a family taking adderall XR, or even knows about the drug----how much is too much, my son in 9 yrs old and the doctor wants to increase the medication to 60mg once a day in the am....this concerns me, its out of the FDA recommeded limits..
603543 tn?1255294450 Good Afternoon, It is worth noting that Wyeth Pharmaceuticals currently has a patent for Effexor XR. While there is a generic extended release version of venlafaxine available, it is not exactly the same as the brand name (Because of the patent). The headaches you are experiencing may be caused by some of the inert ingredients in the generic brand. Knowing this, I would take the samples back to your Dr. and continue using the brand name since you already know it works for you.
Avatar f tn our son started taking it on saturday . he is 13 . the good news is he is doing awesome in school but not eating well . as soon as i hear from the doctors ill post you . im in tears .
Avatar m tn Were you taking the XR Venaflaxine or the standard? My insurance only want to cover the non extended release generic but I tried it for 6 months. I was annoyed at having to take it twice a day but for $37.50 for 90 days vs $90 for 90 days I was willing to do it. Problem was it gives me mild nausea when I took it with a big meal and severe nausea if I took it on an empty stomach or even with with a smaller meal. I just couldn't tolerate it so I went back to the generic XR capsules.
