What Is The Difference Between Ampheta S/combo And Amphetam Salts?

I usually take generic form of Adderal, called ampheta s/combo , and the past few months the pharmacy has given me amphetam salts . I personally notice a difference, as the amphetam salts make me slightly edgy and jumpy. My prescriber specifically wrote a script for ampheta s/combo or adderal yet the pharmacy gave me amphetam salts, again, and told me it is the exact same thing. My body does not feel the same. please describe the difference of these generic brands. thank you.

Hi, thanks for your question. I'm glad to help.

Amphet salts combo and amphetam salts are one and the same drug, but different brand names, that is, just the same drug in different names. Both drugs contain the same combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, and there is nothing to worry about.

The slight side effect you experience may be dose-related or psychogenic. However, you may review this with your doctor.

I hope i have answered your question.

Best wishes.
