Which Generic Adderall Does Cvs Usually Carry?

Updated

Does anyone know which generic manufacturer CVS commonly has in stock for both IR and XR Adderall (Amphetamine Salts)? I know they used to carry Mylan for the IR and it's awful. They also used to carry Actavis for the XR which is also terrible, but I don't have many pharmacy choices with my insurance.. and I'm nervous that I'm going to get stuck with Actavis/Mylan... if anyone has any info I'd appreciate it. I live in RI btw. Thank you!

Different locations carry different manufacturers, brands and generics (and they are always subject to change). The only way to find out what a specific location carries is to go in person as if you are filling your prescription. You can always choose to not accept what they offer you and go somewhere else. After-all it's your money. If you know of a certain manufacturer that tends to work best for you, I would encourage you to have the prescribing doctor specify that drug company's name on the script itself. This way the pharmacist will have to fill it according to the doctor's orders and not solely based off whatever they have in stock at that moment. In some cases they may have to order it and that could take longer than anticipated, but surely it would be worth the wait to know that you are getting something that has proven itself and not gamble with the unknown... A compassionate doctor should have no problem helping their patients in this manner. Nevertheless, I truly hope you are able to get the relief you need!

Sandoz In IR form. To my knowledge I beleive Actavis is used for XR but I’m not positive**. However I know of two people who got New orange Sandoz Adderall with the E on the front in 30mg form wich last two months had gotten Teva so as of RIGHT now in the CHICAGOland area it’s Sandoz IR.

Seattle CVS has Aurobindo >:-(. Same as local chain Bartell Drug. I'd love to find something better. I'm going to try Walgreens and Rite Aid next.

CVS in NYC now dispensing TEVA It was on backorder and was told they could not get it from the warehouse for at least a week - (it should only take a day or 2)I contacted customer relations and filed a complaint. I took my prescription elsewhere and had it filled immediately. That being said, TEVA generic also not working just as CorePharma did not work. I see so many complaints on message boards, about all the generics, that there must be some reformulation but pharmacies and insurance say not aware of this. I feel absolutely nothing for at least 2 hours. However I am not tired until wee hours of the morning going to sleep around 2 am. This is from a 20mg IR - No difference if I take morning dose of 20 mg or second dose at same time =40 mg in am. I do not know what to do. Take it at 5am so I can get to work at 9?

The last two times I filled at CVS (15 mg IR), they were Aurobindo and they're awful. I've switched to Walgreens, who always carries Teva, and they work well for me.

CVS and Target carry Mylan. However Mylan completely changed their formula about 8 months ago. They are now the new Sandoz from last year.
Especially since Sandoz of 2018 is basically a sugar pill and has no effect.
My last 6 months I've gotten Mylan and they have been consistently smooth and effective.
