I recently went and filled my usual Adderall 30mg prescription ,, however this time I opened the bottle and had some round light orange pills marked U31. I thought I had gotten the wrong medicines by mistake but looked on the bottle and the description matched the pills so I then googled it and can't find any info on these new to me, not sure if they are actual new to everyone. I'm wondering if anyone has taken them and how they work compared to other generics. I normally take the Barr brand and took my first dose of these this morning and FELL ASLEEP. This isn't good at all. Anyone have comments?
Opinions of Adderall 30mg U31 pills?

This is not Adderall, It did nothing for me.
What proof do you have that these are not adderall?
Hi, Bitchisback41(
I been taking adderall for a year now I was out for a while week. When I finally got my script filled they gave me the orange u31 instant release. I don't know if it was cause I was out for a week cause the first couple days they worked I was zooming around my house and could finally finish up my project but after a week if taking them they don't help me at all. But yes they are 30mg instant release adderallfor.
Hello Catlover 24,
I got the same generic 2 days ago and it's my first time taking this generic. My opinion- it sucks. I decided to take it at night to see if there's any side affect since it's new to me. I took it at 6pm Friday's night and it made me so tired and sleepy. I thought maybe I was just really tired from being up so early that day and had a long rough day at work. I woke up the next day with a severe headache. I took another pill Saturday's morning at 9am. Within 30 minutes, it gave me the jitty feeling and very fatigue, unmotivated to do anything. It ruined my whole Saturday. I'm mad as hell today because I paid for my medication cuz I have no insurance. I called my pharmacist this morning and told them to never ever give me this medications due to the side effects it gives me. I also told them that If they don't have the generic that I normally get in stock, then direct me to another CVS that has it.
There goes 90 bucks for a month supply of medication that does nothing for me. Waste of time and money.. This is the worst Adderall generic I've ever taken. Now I have to wait til tomorrow to call my doctor for a new RX. I hope this helps. Good luck to you..
I'm in the exact same boat you are. Was taking the Teva football shaped ones for a year or better and this month I decided to go to a different pharmacy than normal. This was with the intention of being given a different form of generic mainly due to forums like these bashing the Teva brand . Well... I received U31's manufactured by Aurolife Pharma. I've been taking them for 2 weeks now and my educated opinion is... they suck! The have the same style effect but it is more gradual and weaker at peak point. I have been backing my normal dosage of. 30mg with split ones at 15 mg increasing the daily intakes. I'm prescribed 90mg a day and have been getting into the 105-120mg a day range with the U31's. I'm going back to my Tevas next month, just hope I can get by until I'm able to refill. The only different manufacturer that I may try other than Teva would be Adderall itself.

I think they are all the same. I take them and enjoy it. I can constantly pump them in me, but doesnt that defeat the propose of using them. I take one aday when i need it, no special time. I keep my tolerance low and it works everytime. Plus i lower the risk of blowing my heart out my chest.
Thank you for your answer. I have to take 3 - 20 mg capsules a day because I have almost no small intestine and have mal-absorption as a result. If you find another brand of extended release please let me know.
I have been taken these for 2 months now, my pharmacy gets different brands based on their price and availability, I’ve been feeling sluggish and depressed and didn’t know why! Now I do know why! Thanks for the insight

Unfortunately, there is no such drug as “Adderall itself” in Instant Release. Shire, the company that manufactured Brand Name Adderall discontinued manufacturing it many years ago and sold their Trade Name rights to Teva. All brands of Adderall IR including Teva are technically generics. They are not manufactured in the same labs as Shire and do NOT have the same quality as Shire’s old Brand name Adderall. If you were do ask your doctor and/or pharmacist for Brand Name Adderall ‘DAW’ you would receive Teva generics with a highly inflated price. That would be the same exact pills if your Rx was filled generically and you requested the Teva brand but for a fraction of the price. Many people aren’t aware of the Big Phara games/scams they play with the ‘uninformed’ American consumers. Hope this helps!
I just did a search for adderall tabs and didn't find any that meet your description. Did you call the pharmacist about it?
Mine are supposedly the generic for Adderall XR and are orange capsules. He has told me they are generic, but I had to pay $448 one time last year when my Medicare supplement coverage went into the donut hole in MARCH!!!
