hi bananabri--
i haven't yet formed a definite opinion on the new generic adderall xr. i keep my meds in a baggie and have been taking whatever i happen to draw out, so about half the time brand and half the time generic. my gut impression is that the generic is not as potent as the brand. as for whether i would be willing to pay for the brand, though, i don't really know--it's a really big price difference for me, anyway. the last time i opted for brand was when i was taking klonopin wafers and the pharmacy kept trying to substitute generic wafers, which were definitely not nearly as effective as the real stuff. it was actually a big pain in the a** to track down a pharmacy that would order the brand name... a lot harder than you would think. sorry if this doesn't help more. depending on your copay for each prescription, maybe you can ask your pdoc to prescribe a week or two's worth, then try it and decide from there whether to pursue the brand name?cb
