So I am perscibed Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine.
Question: What is the difference between the one stated above and specifically D-amphetamine Salt Combo. Took the latter for years and Veteran Affairs just prescribed the first one!
Thank you so much for any reply offered.
Also, if I can help anyone specifically Veterans and First responders with PTSD or any just simple issue I'd be glad to help.
Prior experience: trained drug recognition and substance abuse experience both using (alcohol) and counseling. Bachelors in psychology and working on Masters in Social Work for LCSW licensing. Veteran of two wars and prior law enforcement. We are human and we must be their for each other to over come the "Human Condition" EMOTIONS!
recently I too have been prescribed this ( Dextroamp -amphetamine 30 mg) tab 2x daily after, having been on the D-amphetamine Salt Combo for over 15 years never having had any issues and it works well for me. I can tell a big difference between these medications the dextroamp-amphetamine does not work as well for me
My Question: What is the difference between the two stated above ? never any issues I moved to a new state and started with a new doctor who just prescribed the first one Dextroamp -amphetamine 30 mg tab my new doc is saying its all the same. I dont think it works the same. I said to my new doc ," if its all the same, please put me back on what I had been taking before. I dont understand why he wont?? what are the differences ?

I know this is very old, but for educational purposes, I figured I’d answer for anybody who comes across this in the future. They are actually the EXACT SAME drug generally speaking. Salt combo just refers to the MIX of 4 amphetamine salts that make up ADDERALL. They just say that as a shorter version of amphetamine/dextroamphetamine combination, because it is 2 different “dextroamphetamine”(dextro) salts 37.5%+37.5% and 2 different levoamphetamine salts (they just call levoamphetamine “amphetamine” for short typically) 12.5%+12.5%. these all combined to give you the 3 parts dextro (75%) 1 part levo (25%) that forms adderall and all of its generics. Hope this helped.

I feel like the one ur prescribed isn’t as strong! I take the Salt ones for long and two would give me energy and focused. But this one doesn’t work on me. I think there is a big difference in quality and the affect!

It's too bad nobody responded to this as I am wondering the same. I have been prescribed Adderall for over 10 years,. with the label being,. D-amphetamine Salt Combo . Today I was giving a different label,.color,shape and apparent effect being massive headache. I sometimes get headaches with my adderall,. but not long lasting despite the typical solutions they are not curing the headache this time. Mine are now white, 4 sided and says M 30 ,. very disappointed. Any thoughts ? The distributor is Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, according to the pill finder chart,.
( The common shapes and colors were always either Orange,Pink or even Peach,with the distributors being Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc,,, Core Pharmaceuticals Inc and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA... what should I do,. not use the pharmacy I used,.which I seldom do but even still,what is the real difference, or is it all in my head? )
