How do I find out when Adderall manufactures made "bad" batches?

[Traceme]

Anyone know if there is a FDA site-or better yet-a non-government owned site that can tell you when and if they recalled "batches" of bad adderall?  Too strong or not strong enough.  I have read here that some people get told by their doctors but I am wondering if it's possible to just get a bad batch and not know.  

 

I just kind of had a light bulb moment this morning.  My love ended up in the hospital August 2015 for a "psychotic episode" and I am wondering if any batches were determined bad around this time.  (He takes the 20 mg instant orange football kind)

 

Thanks in advance for any info.

I doubt that not trying to judge your spouse but majority of us take way more then are prescription is written for. Does he ever run out of his meds early or claim he lost pills as a reason he ran out? Every batch is bad this is legalized amphetamines, just add a

the word "meth" in front of that to give you a clear picture what your dealing with. It's a step down from the meth family but still dangerous and very very addictive stuff.

Oh yeah...it cycles like the moon-or maybe he cycles like the moon.  No matter the month-no matter the outside stresses...he's out about 10 days or so prior to refill.  This particular time in when I refer to August 2015, was however like a lunar eclipse.  I occasionally hear of bad batches or people ending up in behavior health due to "bad batches" (maybe true maybe not) but that's really what I wanted to confirm.  Totally get what you're saying about many people taking way more than scripted.  I also refer to this pill as legal Meth.  I get that it's not made in someone's back barn-but that doesn't make it any less dangerous...it may even make it MORE dangerous- Thank you for your insight.

I'm not sure how you find out, but here is the link to the batch i took that landed me in the ER.  Read all the comments starting from 2009 though, not the more recent ones.  Crazy.

 

You could call the manufacturer and ask possibly?

If he is only taking 20mg a day give or take he might be able to quit relatively easy. I only say that because I was on 60mg a day for several years can't speak for those who quit on that amount. But if he steps up the dosage harder will be to stop. You should encourage him to stop now if possible sounds like it's already causing chaos on a relatively low dosage for a adult male.

Thanks LilTex... I will see what I can dig up. You were someone I thought of specifically when my light bulb came on  Frank B-He's prescribed 60 mg instant.  That means he sometimes takes 40...and he sometimes takes 80-Honestly whatever he takes depending on the day-he is out at least a week before he is due to go back.  This med has been causing chaos for quite some time now-however getting him to see that this med is the problem is where we draw the line in the sand facing each other. For some reason-after job loss-serious family complications-never getting anything accomplished (with the exception of not drinking which is wonderful-but adderall is his "drink" now if you know what Im saying-my perception only here of course) Relationship issues-no car-(yes I am blaming that on this too) and the almost obsessive need to over think and analyze everything under the sky with the exception of personally discovery ...the list goes on----but he doesn't see this as being a problem at all.  It's everyone else that has caused all this trouble-his perception.  He is smart-but I swear its like adderall is sucking the common sense right out of him.

Yeah 60mg a day is no joke will be a battle. I wish someone was in my life pushing me to quit instead had someone enabling me to get more than dosage plus pain pills on top of that. It was very hard but told myself enough. After I stopped she quit too because I said no way can I have it around. You should give him a choice you or the drug in my opinion.

[Frank B]

To his defense I'm sure he probbably was very productive for along time on it but sooner or later it just stops being productive and really you feel helpless. It's very scary stopping I'm bsttling it everyday 5 months plus into it why I'm on here so often.

[Traceme]

Yeah...well put Frank.  He WAS productive-Its like when someone loses a lot of weight....and everyone tells them how good they look - when all the person who lost the weight has probably gone through hell and doesn't look that way by choice-but they are given positive feed back no matter how they feel inside-Sometimes you keep thinking you look good when you've crossed the fine line over to the other side...but all you keep thinking about are those positive comments you heard just a short time ago (or so thought)...my perceptions can be annoying but it's just my way of compartmentalizing my emotions.  As to the ultimatum of me or adderall...well honestly the only reason I have never asked that is that I know the answer-I am just not willing to give up at this point in time-I am so damn stubborn that I know he will pick adderall over me-and here I am-still.  I guess if I didn't know him before the at's I would of left him a long time ago.  But I get beautiful rare glimpses of his true personality and I just keep fighting for him...even if its just me fighting.   I realize what I am up against.  My faith in him runs deep.
