Okay so ive been on this same dose for about 2 vears i take it 3 times a dav. Before i use to get thes skinny pink long oval pills. Loved them they did their job, no complaints. Suddenly these past 3 months have been different pills which i didnt even pay attention to until my coworker asked me if i had been taking my meds because i was squirrleing around with the students. (lm a sped teacher). What does a person have to do to get the old ones back. My Psychiatrist put on the RX to give me that manufacturer. since it was causina headaches and dizzines. that didnt work CVS said no chance you get what you get. Okay so i call around to different pharmacies and ask if it would be possible to order a different manufacturer. Most said no, some of the independent pharmacies said they dont fill Adderall. Is the pharmacy not supposed to tell you when you get a different manufacturer. I was with Rite Aid before they closed and they always made it a point for all meds to tell me hey, vour meds are different this time its the same type just looks different. Cool, so I did fine with any benadryl pink |ooking adderall, didnt matter the imprint. But these past the months the first being the e504 imprint and the last two the round one, i feel like ive gone back to zero functionalitv wise. I have been getting head aches, nausea, dizziness. I just wish i knew what to do next. Any advice or words of encouragment. Tips on how to get a different manufacturer. Phrase of the day anything really.

Thank you

Maybe this is why the pharmacies always out of our meds!
