I know Shire was the originator, back in 1999 I believe and then Barr labs and teva currently are making generics which are as close to Brand Name you will get.
Who makes the Brand Name IR Adderall currently?

There is not a brand name available for Adderall IR. There isn't even an authorized generic available for the instant release version. We are forced to pay for and accept subpar medications being manufacturered by a handful of companies that are not regulated or monitored by the FDA at all, in any way.
TEVA for example is the subject of thousands of complaints online which have been reported to the FDA consistently since 2015 only to increase in complaints in shocking numbers yet nothing is being done to regulate or monitor their production and distribution of generic Adderall ir.
Only the extended release is available in brand name which continues to be Shire.

Dear Bake_city, I have tried to find if there was still a brand name IR for years. Neither my doctors or any pharmacists I ask will answer me. I have been on Adderall XR-brand name for several years. It did work well for my ADHD (and depression) before a surgery I had in 2013. I have tried generic adderall many times since it came out in 2009, and it is like taking nothing. Since generic, many of the big chain pharmacies will not keep the brand name in stock or even order it. I doubt they keep the brand name IR in stock either, and they will not even discuss it with me.

Muddled07,
I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time getting the brand name Adderall IR. I have tried many generics myself and I know there can be a huge difference in the efficacy of the medication. I see a psychiatrist who prescribes me Adderall and Lexapro. He is very pleasant and listens to me when I tell him how I'm feeling without judgment. If you are seeing a family practice doctor I recommend getting yourself a good psychiatrist who specializes in ADHD. As for the brand name Adderall my psychiatrist always writes "dispense as written substitution not permitted" on my prescriptions. The pharmacy cannot supply you anything but brand name Adderall if it is written in that way. They might have to order it so it could take a few days to fill. Best of luck to you!
