And, yes, what works for one may do nothing for someone else.

For ex.  My son must have name brand or it's like he's eating jelly beans.[/quote]

It’s crazy how unique it is. DD and I both take versions of Adderall. 20 mg each. I use generic and she takes name brand. Once she ran out before we picked up her refill and I let her have mine, thinking  it’s the same thing. She said it made her feel jittery and it was like the dose was too high to help. I took her Adderall once in a similar situation and my reaction wasn’t like hers, but I really didn’t like how it made me feel. Once my pharmacy changed from one generic to another, and I can tell the difference and have a preference, but it’s not noticeable enough to go out of my way to find the old formula.

You might have to try a few different brands, versions of a brand, and different doses before finding the right one. The nice thing is you can usually tell right away if it’s a terrible fit for you. You can also tell right away if it’s helpful, but tweaking it to go from good to great can be tricky. [/quote]
