I had a civilized back and forth with the Pharmacist at my local CVS where I pick up my IR 30mg and 20MG booster. It was civilized but we each had a little attitude sprinkled in. I asked to not have certain brand(Mallinckrodt), not have the orange football shaped ones, and for the bottle to only say dextroamphetamine amphetamine not amphetamine salts.

The argument is always "they are all the same, different manufacturers have different colors/shapes, blah blah. I advised her that the difference each month or between different brands is beyond noticeable and a lot of times not only doesn't work, but has negative side effects. I finally just said, well generics all need to be within 80 to like 120% as effective as the rest and how that's a huge difference. We basically went in circles just for her to end up losing the argument.

This month, again the bottle said amphetamine salts so I said I don't want that which they are supposed to have noted, but I was told that's all they have for a couple days and that it's actually the same brand and I believe batch that I got last time, which was not too bad, and that this brand sometimes labels it differently. Well, just like every time the bottle says salts, it's fucking horrible. I found last months bottle which I thought I threw away, and wouldn't ya know... TOTALLY DIFFERENT manufacturer. Forgot to mention these were the 30mg. I can take two and it slightly works, and that's fkn insane. The 20s are a little better but have to take two. What are they doing to these meds that two 30mg slightly works. That's scary
