Generic vs brand name medication?

[sunshine101562]

My medication for ADD is Adderall and the Dr forgot to check the box that says do not duplicate. When I went to pick up my script the pharmacy had given me the generic form which is Amphetam salt. Im just wondering if anyone has every used this drug and if i was the same as Adderall. I had been give the generic form of Ritilan once and it was not even close to being the same. Id be greatful for any thoughts...

Really the only thing to do is try it and see. I have had some generics that worked great and then some that seemed they just didn't mix them right or they were missing something.

For instance, when I had name brand Darvocet, it was always fine, then I moved and had to switch pharmacies, then they gave me the generic and it was awful. There were time I could take several and it didn't do anything and other times I would take one and could have swore that I had swallowed the whole bottle.

I know generics are supposed to be bioequivelent but sometimes they just aren't.
