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?

Brand name Adderall was once manufactured by Teva. I believe that brand name Adderall is now discontinued. I am fairly sure I am correct. And by the way I am discussing Adderall IR.

Teva/Barr generic Adderall IR = brand name Adderall IR currently now; the med has changed hands several times since Shire originally made brand name Adderall IR.

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.

As on October 2018 Teva is making the Brand Name Adderall IR. The NDC is 57844-0110-01
Teva also makes a Generic Adderall IR and that NDC is 00555-0972-02. Adderall XR is manufactured 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!

I currently take the brand Adderall XR 30mg and the BRAND Adderall Instant Release 30mg. I am certain they still manufacture both because I take them both. I can check the manufacturer when I get home :) Hope this helps

You might hear people say that the Teva brand Adderall IR is, or is as close as you'll get to the original, but don't be fooled. When adderall went generic, Barr made the EXACT formula as Shire's original Adderall IR . Then Teva got their grubby greedy hands into the formula and after that- it had NEVER been the same. Doctor's prescribe this "medication" this "formula" for their patient's based on the outcome of Shire's extensive research and study of THIS EXACT FORMULA. It was Shire's EXACT formula that helped so many patients and today doctors assume, believe and/or trust that they are writing prescription's for a medication that was thoroughly studied. But in reality, doctor's today are writing prescription's for a bogus, ineffective, useless medication that no longer exists. Patient's like myself KNOW the difference in this medication, like we e know the back of our own hands.
