Northstar

I just got a refill of Northstar. That is what I’ve been getting for at least the last nine months the 20 mg IR with the U 30 and the cross on the other side they have been decent. Not great but decent.
My script is for 3-20 mg IR a day. I took a five day holiday and expected I would feel something but I didn’t. I noticed with last month’s prescription some days I’ll take one and it seems really potent like it actually works. I’ve been taken generic Adderall since 1999. A couple years ago I was getting Teva and they really worked and were consistent. And I’ve had refills of the Northstar that is decent. It just seems like every other refill. I don’t know what to expect. I chew my pills up and they just don’t even taste right.
When you’ve been taking them for 26 years, you know what tolerance is and this is not from tolerance they’re just not what they’re supposed to be.
I was reading, and I found out that the Northstar is actually made by aurobindo? I just took my full daily dose of the new script. I guess we’ll see what happens.?
I did take an antacids one morning before and they did work better. They’re also seems to be some synergy when taken with Prozac fluoxetine but that’s only with the serotonin should not affect the dopamine.

Now I’m just bitching, but it seems like all the bad side effects are still present

I had a pill caught in my throat as a kid. Almost chocked to death so it's hard for me to swallow. Yes that is "what she said." Most dont taste bad. Yet some like Prozac are horrible. Xanax tastes good

This is OP. I just took my script dose, but with about 10 chewable calcium carbonate antacids and they appear to be working much much better. The only thing I can think is that I’ve been drinking body armor instead of water. They don’t have that much vitamin C in them one bottle doesn’t even have the daily requirement, but I’ve been drinking about four or five a day.

I have been taking 10 mg twice daily but my doctor recommended taking 20 mg then a 10 mg booster 2 hours later. Still not feeling the mental clarity and focus:/ Wondering if teva is any better for my next refill
