Camber Adderall Complaints (Page 6)

Camber's new generic for Adderall IR 15mg is no good. Prior to it I got 10mg Adderall from CVS and it worked great! Just got a fill from Kroger since CVS was out of stock. The brand is from Camber and not only does it not work, it makes me feel unwell, sleepy and super irritated. It’s crazy how companies are able to differentiate in their generics like they do. This Camber brand just makes me want to go to sleep but I feel so unwell it’s hard to. I can’t focus at all on anything but how sick I feel. Don’t take this new stuff people and if you have what did you think?

Re: mmmac (# 100)

So sorry you’ve had such difficulty. Seems generic adderall has been problematic for quite some time. I haven’t taken it for about a year and half because I was getting heart palpitations from it. So, I asked my doctor for an alternative. He prescribed Vyvanse at 30 mg/day to start. I’ve worked my way up to 50mgs/day and this dosage seems right for me. Maybe Vyvanse is something you and your doctor could consider. It’s definitely not the same as Adderall. But, my attention is better with it than without so, I’m grateful for this alternative. Good luck!!

I take this medication for narcolepsy which is severe. When I was given Adderall made by Camber, I actually fell asleep… No joke, and this is never happened to me before. I filed a formal complaint on the FDA webpage, and if you have had a similar experience you should as well

I received Camber 10 mg generic adderall from my pharmacy this past month (August 2022). It was horrible, headaches, extreme fatigue, upset stomach and sores popped up everywhere. I had previously taken generic adderall (prior to my past two pregnancies) to help with my inattentive ADD. I was diagnosed in college after having to withdrawal from many of my classes due to test scores. I was always a poor test performer, but in high school my homework scores made up for it. I would stay up late every night weeks before a test to study (we are talking up until 3 am) with the same result. I also had a hard time with reading comprehension, even failing the first grade. As an adult, I rely on medication while working in my professional career to stay on task, wrap things up and plan ahead. It calms the noise and allows me to problem solve rather than feel overwhelmed and procrastinate. The previous generic helped me with this and was a life saver. It made me function as a normal individual (not over perform just perform without the extraordinary extra effort I had previously required). I never felt the medication, but I could tell it was working by the calmness and focus. Camber’s generic does nothing for me, there are no benefits and many issues. It makes me agitated, dries my skin out, gives me headaches, makes my stomach hurt, makes me sweat, has caused sores to pop up and makes me extremely sleepy. I have asked for the brand name moving forward and would recommend that to others as well.

Exact same problem. I am so pissed off. I had to fill Camber brand Adderall 15 mg 4x a day because I normally take 30 mg 2x a day and this crap is all they had. This generic brand has made me unbelievably sick. 24/7 horrible headache, diarrhea, awful stomach pain, horrible anxiety, so restless so exhausted but can’t sleep. My insides are crawling. My chest hurts. My body hurts. I feel like getting a lawyer a suing them. This past month has been hell because of this medication. How, how, how did this medication get released to the public?! I didn’t know what was wrong with me. I had no clue it was this new brand of medication until reading the unbelievable amount of reviews on it from people having the exact same issues.

Re: MALEX (# 85)

requesting a dif manufacturer is all well and good...except we are in the middle of a national shortage of not only 1 manufacturer, which we with ADHD prefer, but several others now as well. You sound so "high and mighty" in your reply.
Look to the medication Concerta...some of the generics are NOT the same as the name brand due to the release mechanism which is patented by the name brand, therefore, the generic's release of the medication is NOT the same/is not equivalent.

Re: A very pissed off patient (# 104)

I had a negative reaction to Camber's version of Adderall this month and was incapacitated. I'm grateful that I have a long-term relationship with my doctor and that he took my symptoms seriously and worked with two different local pharmacies to help me get Teva instead. It makes me sad to imagine what people without that kind of care are going though. Even after discontinuing Camber, I felt sick for several days - with nausea, headache, brain fog, and depression. I reported the experience to the FDA and hope others with similar experiences do the same. For those who haven't had negative side effects, I'm so glad and hope that continues.

I was taking amphetamine/ dextroamphetamine salt combo 20mg tabs made by TEVA. Then got switched to the Camber brand and immediately noticed a difference. I wasn't getting the same effect/results, not even close ! Even taking an additional dose just left me confused and frustrated.
I'm going to talk to the pharmacist to see about exchanging what I have left for the TEVA brand. I'll post my results after that.

I had to get Camber last month and had never heard of it. I was fine for the first few days and then I started feeling myself get so irritated and then angry. I was fighting and yelling with my husband over stuff I didn't even know why. I actually started slipping into depression and was feeling unmotivated and even "numb" towards the end of the prescription month. Luckily my CVS had their usual Alvogen in stock this month but I have issues with that too but not as bad. The anxiety I go through every month wondering if I can my medication on time, or at all, or how many days I will suffer without it, which brand I'll end up with, etc.... it's so unfair.

Re: Tevanooooo (# 7)

YES! I had that head pressure the whole month I was on it. I had to take Tylenol constantly for the headaches. I felt pretty good for about the first 7 to 8 days and then I became increasingly more irritable and downright angry and verbally aggressive while on it. I would get sleepy and sort of "spaced out" and numb. I had no motivation. It was horrible.

Re: Optimistic (# 1)

Does anyone else get a weird side effect of their tongue getting sore and swollen? Like the taste buds get dark red, swollen and inflamed and it hurts to talk or eat? I noticed it went away when I was off my medication for a few days? If this happens to you please let me know. It has to be the medication for me, no other cause and it always coincides with my medication.

Re: mmmac (# 100)

I understand. I'm 54 and I have been taking it for the past 20+ years. I have fibromyalgia as well as chronic fatigue/lethargy from other medications I have to take and adderall (I've only taken generic) is the only thing that has helped me to be able to get out of bed and be productive, focused, alert and feel hopeful to be able to live a somewhat normal life. The Camber and other poor quality generics have made me so ill and have affected me adversely in so many ways and then add to that, the stress of trying to get your medication for the next month....it's too much. It is really unfair. Is there not someone we can file a complaint with? Maybe a class action lawsuit?

Also, has anyone tried getting the actual brand? Is that out of stock as well? Is it much more expensive and does it work better? I've never tried brand so I was wondering.

Re: Janalyse (# 101)

You’re totally correct!

I tried Vyvanse about 6yrs ago and it didn’t seem helpful @30mg.

However, last month my current doctor & I actually did discuss trying it again due to the Camber issues, ideally at a slightly higher dosage.
So that will happen next month and I’m very hopeful it will be successful.
Especially now that my other meds are brand name only and am not fighting the side effects of the inactive ingredients in generics of those.

The Camber generic does feel like poison and I’ve almost weaned myself off it entirely.

Until my next appointment and switching to Vyvanse, I’d prefer to fall asleep randomly and explain the disorder after if necessary over what this seems to be doing to my body and mind.

Re: mmmac (# 113)

Good luck! I hope Vyvanse will help you. Maybe your doc can prescribe 45 mgs if it comes in that strength. Or you could go in at 50 mgs. I’m unsure if the dosage corresponds to weight or symptoms or a combination of both, but it’s def worth a shot. Let us know how you do.

You should fill this form up. Let the FDA know about yr experience. I was severely poisoned by camber’s "fake" adderall and they are not being held accountable.

Re: G (# 99)

It is a possibility the long covid is making Adhd worse, as it did for me for a year. Possibly the vaccine also to be honest.
I had the worst brain fog for about a year. It almost felt like I didnt haveo oxygen in my brain. I had yo almost double my adderall dose and it still barely worked.
On another note though, these generics can be terribke with horrible side effects

Yeah, it's junk. I've been taking Camber 12.5 for a week... the side effects have subsided a bit, but it's still very ineffective. It makes me feel ill, tired, and clumsy. My stomach is really having a hard time with it. Mentally, my thinking is disorganized and a depression hangs over me.
Do these companies actually try their stuff out on people before they produce and sell it? Because I can't imagine anyone saying this formulation is acceptable.

Re: Comments Submitted (# 82)

Yeah, I call the evil twin generics "Badderall". But this Camber stuff is on a different level, it should be called "Wirstavall". Seriously though, isn't it odd how they managed to formulate it to give almost the exact opposite effects of what it's supposed to do? It's actually amazing, or at least it would be if I could feel anything on this god awful stuff. With this many people having issues you'd think there'd be a legal suit or an investigation or something.

Re: Chuggle (# 117)

I reported this medicine to the FDA. It felt like poison . If your Stomach and mental health is being affected because of a medicine, why would trust to continue taking it?
