In reply to new generic adderall xr, posted by CareBear04 on April 15, 2009, at 12:42:06
> adderall xr just became available in generic this month. i was surprised when the pharmacist told me this last week when i picked up my script since i didn't think it's been even near the 20 years of exclusivity for the manufacturer. in any case, i saved a lot of money.

> i'm wondering, though, has anyone tried the generic form? i want to know if adderall xr is one of those drugs where the generic is indistinguishable from the brand in effectiveness or whether it's a drug where you really need to take the brand to get the most benefit. a couple of years ago, when i took generic dexedrine spansules, i wasn't at all impressed, even though my pdoc had postulated that dexedrine is more potent than adderall. maybe that's true just of the brand form?

Looking at the pill, it is the same exact color, but all it says is amphetamine salts 20 mg. It does NOT say anything about being xr or even er.
Did the pharmacist screw up? because right now I feel sick. I feel like I am getting all of the 20 mg at once.
Please advise.
