unusual side effects from a change in generic adderall

[s2k1099]

I've been getting L-amphetamine + d-amphetamine combo from Barr labs for about a year now as a generic alternative to the 30mg IR adderall I'm prescribed. However, due to this shortage epidemic I was forced to go to Walgreens to fill these pills because the pharmacy I use had no adderall available (it's a mom and pop place so there is only one in town and they are the ONLY pharmacy that uses Barr labs as a generic)

I was given the corepharma generic d-amphetamine salt combo 30mg IR tabs and I notice a big difference. I seem to have low BP and my veins are REALLY small compared to normally. My mind is fucking everywhere - and i am ''force focusing'' a lot more than i usually do on the amps. Those are all the unusual effects and concerns. Its an unusual amount of jitteryness for me but I'm not sure if what im noticing is due to the pills or other factors going on. Ill explain the 'status' of some of the other factors that im unsure about -

-----------Possible Factors-------------------------------------------------------------------------

~Sleep Deprivation - I woke up 11/10 at 9am and have been awake since. It is now 11/12 4:10pm but this is totally normal (i only sleep every 3 days and have been for over a year).

~ SSRI withdraw? - I had been trying Zoloft the past week and a half but i lost my pills so i havent had them for 5-days I dont believe im having any kind of withdraw from lack of this and the damn pill doesnt do anything but make me prematurely ejaculate. Its fucking crap.

~ I took a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate and 4 tablets of Calcium Carbonate on the 10th around 7pm as a self experimental thing. (Yes I am aware of the danger in doing that) Then today I took a 500mg magnesium supplement.

~ prior to 11/10 i had been out of my amphetamines for 2 weeks and did not take any kind of drugs for that period of time, minus the go-soft.. er.. i mean Zoloft

~ havent ate since 11/10. I fast for 5 days on a bi-monthly basis - something i am also accustom to.

~ A really good friend of mine was killed in a car accident 4 days ago. I only mention that because of the possibility of an altered state of mind, that i may not be aware of - as happening. (derealization, Existential crisis, dissociative amnesia, psychological repression -etc)

And thats it. No other meds or drugs. however i do plan on taking .5mg of lorzapam to come down later tonight. ANY HELP OR COMMENTS would be appreciated. I'm really curious about this. ESPECIALLY FORCE FOCUSING! I can't fucking stand it and it's a lot more intense than usual and ive been taking addies for over a year.

I really think it is due to all the other factors you just listed vs. the new brand of generic mixed amphetamine salts/Adderall you're taking. Really. There is no difference between the generics.

A simple change in pill wouldn't cause you to come online and write all this.

I am sure it has something to do with all those things you listed in your life.

Good luck m8

I take adderall very often for study purposes, and lately the only type of generic adderall is this corepharma. I took 30 mg today and it took a super long time to kick in, and I felt way more jittery than I feel taking any other type of adderall. It's almost as if the jitteryness overrides my focus to get my work completed and I'm just focusing way too much on things that don't really matter. I'm a naturally anxious person, but I KNOW i am way more anxious than I should be after taking this adderall. And I have taken adderall many times and have never really felt like this. I've made posts before about this type of adderall but always get responses such as "no, they all have the same ingredients, it's all in your head..." But I know that's not true... something about this type of adderall is making me more jittery and after the comedown, MUCH more depressed than usual. I always get somewhat of a negative effect from coming down from adderall, but this is much more severe than normally.

I also notice that you mention SSRI withdrawl.. I am currently tapering myself off of Citalopram (Generic Celexa) so this could be the reason we are both experiencing this from this type of adderall.. but I'm not sure. You've been on Zoloft for so little days that you may not even be dependent yet.. and I am still taking a very small dose of Citalopram every night.

I can definitely relate to how you are feeling. I wish I could give you more answers, but all I can say is I definitely believe it has something to do with this type of generic. People are going to say that all generics are the same, but I do believe something is different with his type.

Hope this helps!
