I've read that the only thing that has changed is the imprint on one side of the pill. It went from the "AD" to a lower case "d" on top of a lower case "p". It stands for Duramed Pharmaceuticals. All that changed was the brand adderall pill is now being manufactured by the duramed division of teva pharm instead of the barr division. The barr division makes the generic still

The imprint is not the ONLY thing that has changed because Adderall does not work for my ADD any longer. The old Adderall 5 mg did wonders for my concentration. This new brand name Adderall makes me feel wired like I am on speed! There is definately a change

There is another generic company (Eon labs owned by Sandoz owned by Novartis who manufacture brand ritalin) who make adderall generic. I switched to it and its awesome.

"(1) Eon labs is Owned now by Sandoz
Sandoz is a generic company owned by Novartis (makers of brand Ritalin).

(2) Eon labs still make adderall generic
they now use the same formula as sandoz for their generic

(3) sandoz generic = eon lab generic is reported to be very smooth and equal to the brand when made by shire if not better because they do clinical trials and studies on their generics

You will get good adderall formula or at least better than teva new formula for generic price"
