... like I do? Costco (Cencora supplier) keeps changing their Generics (KVK yellow tab, Cor Phar pink tab, Accord white tab. Malinckrodt (now Sonorant Thera) is the best for me, as it doesn't make me sick because of the added lactose that the others have, and they can't order it for me. So I have to go back to Walgreens to get it

Hi, Gail!
While all generic medications contain the same amount of the active drug you're right... each manufacturer's formulation may be different from other generics and the name brand. Some people don't tolerate these inactive ingredients (binders, fillers, colouring agents) well.
Off the cuff suggestion: Find yourself a little Mom and Pop drugstore who may have your favorite in stock or are much more likely to submit a special order for you if needed. The "big" stores are bound by company policy whereas the small shops are more geared to the patient's needs.
Regards and good luck!

PS, I'm lucky... been on methylphenidate for years and have probably used at least 6 different manufacturer's products. Never felt any difference at all.
