> First of all, any generic medication should yield the same result as the original, brand named,drugs would have. Therefore, generic Adderall XRshould be just fine. Mentally, some people don't think that it does, hence they feel all the negative/side effects that they might have read or heard about, or deny its good effects, it true purpose, mentally.

However, a few years ago, my doctor suggested this new medicine, Vyvanse XR, I think they only come in with XR; however, Vyvanses extended release is longer than Adderall. Therefore, I tried it, and I have been on it since. I feel that it works better than Adderall, and I only have to take it once a day, as appose to twice a day, when I was on Adderall.

I have tried both brand name and generic forms of Adderall XR at 20mg each. I cannot see a significant difference really (except in the price). When I have had to take generic forms of medicines in which I was use to taking the name brand; I would always say to myself "this isn't going to work for me like its suppose to".....nah, doesn't work that way because I just siked myself out of giving the new medicine a chance to work.I have tried Vyvanse in the past. It is definitely a lot smoother than Adderall. I think that is because it consists of 100% Dextro-Amphetamine and Adderall XR is like 75% Dextro-Amphetamine and 25% Levo-Amphetamine. Vyvanse allowed me to focus without the jitters due to the fact that Dextro-Amphetamine is directed solely at the Central Nervous System. Adderall XR on the other hand is directed at the CNS, but only at 75% capacity. The other 25% Levo-Amphetamine is directed towards the Peripheral Nervous System i.e.(blood pressure, body temperature, and for me dry eyes).
Anywho, I said my peace. Take Care
GoodLuck :-)
