I'm not sure if this has been asked already, but I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and after 2 appointments with my psychiatrist he caved in (I literally subtly insisted to him that I think I have ADHD and he said okay let's try adderall 5mg IR. Our whole conversation lasted about 15 mins remote each time, and no actual tests were given). Later I found out that I was prescribed a generic brand adderall and was using Sandoz. Although the medication helped me stop stimming and let me finally sit my in front of my workstation for long periods of time, it hasn't helped my concentration or focus that much. I'm wondering if this is just because it's the generic manufacturer or because name brand adderall is just that much more effective. If brand name adderall is that much better then the question is how can I get prescribed brand name adderall without sounding like an addict to my psychiatrist because he never officially tested me for anything so I assume it'll be harder to get prior authorization (I heard generic brand prior auths are easier to get approved but name brands are a lot harder). On a side note, what are your prefered manufacturers for generic brand adderall?
