I have been on Adderall XR 20mg once a day and my dr wrote it for 10mg twice daily; yet the pharmacist filled regular generic adderall xr; I know this because I compared those with a photo online from Barr! what should I do?
Don't be alarmed, Adderall 20 mg and the generic version of Adderall 10 mg are the same. The only difference is the mg's. If you feel concerned I would phone your MD and ask he/she what you should do. Or you can even speak with your pharmacist if you can't phone your MD.
IR simply means Instant Release, and XR means Extended Release. 20 mg of Adderall XR is supposed to last throughout the day. The 10 mg of Adderall IR is to help instantly but not last as long, which is why you take it twice a day.
Again if you have any more questions please post back and I would be happy to help.
