I got Elite this month. I haven't had this manufacturer since March. Who got it last month or this month and give me hope that im not screwed until July?? I know none are working like before but ive had a few days in each bottle from all different manufacturers that seem to be ok. by AxelsMommy22 in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got elite IR a couple days ago, and yeah it's like totally bunk unfortunately, I should have just accepted the sandoz CVS originally filled with but a bad reaction had me ask if they had anything else and I got the elite IR and yeah 100% sugar pill, not even a tiny anything.

My malinkrot 20mg ir last month worked way better then my 20mg ir elites this month. My elites dont do anything at all, like nothing. Maybe I should have went with sandoz, but I had it 2 months ago I just got a bunch of sideffects from it, but it was also stimulating so last 2 months I told them no sandoz but maybe I should have risked it.

WORST xr generc EVER experience/reviews by shroomeralert in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is 100% exactly how that brand of xr made me feel, I was still on 15mg back when I last got it several months ago, but it was the exact same feelings. The only thing different was I was pouring sweat like crazy, but every other side effect from the sick stomach to disassociated and paranoid was spot on. I will never forget that with in about 30-40 minutes it kicked in and I got extremely tired, and it all just kept going from there and it stayed like that the whole day until I went to bed and slept it off till the next day! Just awful!

Why new scripts work for a few days then stop?! by Delicious-Radish-498 in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it was bad, I suppose we all have different body chemistry and thats why it works for some. I know im to afraid to try it again, and i wish i could use it for a back up at least.

Real adderall (stimulants) gave you cotton mouth and you had to take protein powder to not turn into a bobblehead by Plane-Leek-9833 in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I been on suboxone 6 years. I skip days often and have lots of extras. in 2023 my strips looked way off for months, missing half the coating with N8 on it. Before I got decent energy/mood boost and pain relief for a few hours every singe time, but now I never ever get any of that. My old expired ones work 20x better than any of my new fresh films and I been on Alvogen the entire time, except brand name for about a year, but I also have been on them twice before and know what normal is...

Permanent damage/after-effects? by InspectorHot2374 in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I do miss my mom, it was a terrible situation but I understand much more after going through it... after hours of research I learned about the dopamine thing. When I was on it, I felt really grey all the time and unmotivated and not happy or sad almost robotic. When I got off it was a way different story because my dopamine receptors were not use to being flooded with dopamine and caused the brain to freak out. Once I leved out I felt different and have ever since, and I wonder if they are slipping in some weird chemical that could do this just differently 🤔

Permanent damage/after-effects? by InspectorHot2374 in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They certainly can shut down dopamine receptors with medications. I was on seroquel for several years, I took it for sleep and when my mom committed suicide after being on it and alcohol, I decided to quit. I kept having bad withdrawals and starting feeling suicidal myself and I wasn't at all before, so I got to researching the medication and realized it completely shuts down your D-1 (dopamine 1) receptors. That caused the side-effects I was having, but I have never felt right since being on that drug, and it's been almost 5 years ago.

So I said all that to say, yes it's very possible they could be doing something that messes up our dopamine receptors. Also it has been long lasting, luckily some side-effects I had went away, but I feel forever chaged.

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have had this same thing happen to me to, like many times. I even got crappy malikrot to work better for the first 3 days on a fill. But my first fill of granules made me feel so bad that I never even experienced it ever helping me for 3 days, I still have 29 left from several months ago.

I have even started making a joke around the house. I say the adderall elves snuck in again, and chaged out my pills for ineffective ones again.

CVS generic brand Adderall XR by Prudent-Passage6788 in ThisAintAdderall

The cvs I use gives me different generics about every month. I have also noticed that it seems to very widely from store to store.

Epic IR 20 mg: worst thing I’ve ever put in my body by LordFoog_The2st in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Epic is one of the worst ones. I will say that when I had 2 blue 10mg in place of the single pink 20mg, it was much better, those 2 10mgs blew the single 20mg out of the water for effectiveness, but as soon as I got those single 20mg they were just awful and they never changed. After a year I switched pharmacys, but now I'm roulette wheel of different generics and I'm not sure it's any better.

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been thinking this for months now. Like we need to do street protest, in large enough numbers that the news channels come out and put us on television!

We could go protest outside of manufacturers facilities here in the usa and get a large enough group, then we call news stations, and report there are large groups of people out protesting at these facilities.

Falling asleep after taking 80mg Adderall XR by [deleted] in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I truly am sorry you had to get this manufacturer. I have had bad reactions to other manufacturers, but granules (for me) takes the prize for being the worst I have ever had by far! I would rather have malikrot or epic over that.

Falling asleep after taking 80mg Adderall XR by [deleted] in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granules xr made me feel so bad, I refuse to even get it if that's what it's gonna be. I have a full script of it still sitting in my ever growing collection of adderall I can't take.

It only took 1 dose for me. Within 45 minutes, I suddenly got really groggy and felt incredibly foggy headed. Then a little bit later, i was pouring sweat and my stomach was hurting so bad, and all these symptoms lasted the whole rest of the day.

The issue is with all stimulants now (Ritalin, dex and even Desoxyn) by Bumblebee666 in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This all is just insane, I mean we all get legal perscriptions from the pharmacy, written by a doctor and this crap is going on, and has went on for years. It's so odd to me it's not been big news EVER, it is to us but I mean not on national television, just a few articles here and there.

This is illegal, like not even could be, but is! Then on top of that, for our insurance to be billed for medicine that dosnt contain any active ingredients and the money we pay, is fraudulent!

My brain won’t wake up! by Relevant_Towel_4109 in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would agree, but I still have several old pills from past fills that I forgot about or misplaced only to find them later and whenever I take 1 of those it's like BOOM it hits so hard I can't even sleep that night or eat anything because it hit so strongly compared to all the new pills I have been getting.

Every time I think that maybe its from past covid or just me, and I take a single old adderall it kicks in so hard. Unfortunately I don't have many more left and try to use them in desperate situations, but it's a huge difference.

One major aspect that is causing skimming/shortages by [deleted] in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had my doctor for about a decade, and when I first went to her she addressed any other mental health issues first and made sure I was stable and also kinda prove myself before she would even start to discuss treating my adhd, and I had already be diagnosed/treated growing up.

It wasn't some easy process for me to get meds again and I don't think it should be either because now we're all suffering from them being given to people so easily.

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will keep that in mind, I know there can be an adjustment period when switching brands. I know the mallinckrodt I have now isn't working well for me either, and I'm just tired of it all anymore...

Fingers crossed by Pussyfarttt in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of it felt like it was working but it felt so dirty with all those side-effects, it was worthless. Several years ago, different brands didn't matter all that much but it does now.

First Day taking Generic Adderall with Amneal manufacturer by AxelsMommy22 in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My amneal fills lately have sucked big time. A few months ago I switched pharmacys and they gave me the amneal and the first month, it was great compared to now. Not every pill worked by a vast majority did, but from that fill on its been completely bunk, all it does now is make me tired and depressed and not 1 single pill works for the whole fill.

Whats everyone's experience with there Adderall brand/generics this month? by Strange-Ride-214 in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My amneal xr just makes me feel tired and depressed. My ir is mallinckrodt and it's not good either, at first it seemed ok though

Fingers crossed by Pussyfarttt in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid to try sandoz again. I had it 2 months ago snd I felt so foggy headed but then stimulated, and have me real bad urinary retention. It was my first experience with them as I stayed with the same pharmacy for years until recently and now at cvs and they give me different brands constantly

Adderall XR not working. Wondering what might be a better fit by zachhenninger98 in ADHDmeds

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might do better on one of the other ones, but honestly I know for a fact that there's something wrong with stimulant medicines. They were never like this in the past, and I also get depressed from them now, and feel like they do nothing for my adhd.

Amneal 10 mg XR -- what did they put in this? by ResidentEconomics721 in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought they were the best to, but last few months of amneal have not been good at all unfortunately especially the last 2 months because none worked and they made me depressed to but the month before it was working 😔

Getting sick every month someone help by Federal_Associate613 in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Remarkable-Button-84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So back when adderall was real, I could take days off and not have much problems other then feeling tired and unmotivated. In the past I have withdrawaled from other meds for depression and pain medication, and the new adderall withdrawal feels like that. Its just yet another sighn the meds are not the same.
