Many medications come in both brand name and generic forms. Most of the time the generic form is just as good as the brand name. The exception can occur when a medication is time released. Some time released medications have a special capsule form that makes the times release accurate and sometimes generics do not get this just right. This is well known with Concerta but Adderal does not have the same situation. Could it be that when you received one prescription the rapid release short acting medication was given and with another the long acting slow released was given. One is a capsule the other a pill.
