Everyone reacts differently to medications. What works for one person may not work for another. It is not uet known why this is or how to determine which medication will work best for an individual. Usually, finding the right medication and the right dosage is a matter of trial and error.

I live n new york and the pharmacies here have stopped filling it genercaly , they say it is not equivlent one pharmacist told me that generic adderall acts more like a street drug than a doctor prescibed drug, so from there you can see some studies thay have done. It s just unfortunate the difference in cost,well good luck hope  explaned t a lttle more clearly.
