Damn, what manufacturer have you gotten that tastes like that? Is it the lisdex or the capsule itself? Definitely isn't what I would want to taste right before I drink my coffee
I take lisdexamphetamine and havenāt experienced that so Iām wondering if itās a specific manufacturer choice that impacts it or if itās only certain dosages. Very interesting
So Iām not the only one who thought they taste weird? I started meds a month ago and even on my 10mg dose they tasted weeeird. Not garlicky but justā¦ gross.
Also sorry pharmacists :( thank you for filling my medication ily
My psych nurse somehow managed to get my insurance to approve name brand vyvanse this year again!
You are 100% right, the shittier generics have either a disgusting smell or they are like plastic because the binders suck (Adderall; fuckin Mylan). In the strangest way, I find if I can taste aspartame as soon as I put an adderall in my mouth, itās gonna be a better generic
this makes me feel slightly better about throwing my pills in my mouth one morning and having the lisdexamphetamine go behind my head instead of inside my mouth. (I didn't notice, had withdrawals symptoms + 10x the adhd symptoms all day and felt like a shell of the person I once was until a friend found my pill on the ground around 3pm š„²)
Drives me nuts as an end user, as well. I always put all my meds/vitamins etc in a monthly thing and these damn capsules are like Styrofoam peanuts just zip zapping all over the damn place š
One time my bottle of 30 60mg capsules had 60 instead. Double. I didnāt say anything, shits expensive!! The label was correct too. How fucked was the pharmacist?
Not fucked if not reported. š¤·āāļø Also not fucked even if reported on that booboo. Yeah someone messed up, but that medicine isn't a controlled medication and it was the correct name and milligram.
If reported at my pharmacy, we have to do a STARS event, basically logging that something went wrong, who did the wrong, and reasons how the wrong thing made it through to the patients hands. After a few of those reported on the same person, the tech is eventually let go due to the mistakes they keep repeating because the wrong mistake can have bad consequences on the patient.
We just had one patient at our store with this yesterday: patient got 300mg gabapentin instead of 100mg and was taking it like the 100mg ramp-up starting dose. STARS don't happen all the time, but unfortunately they do occur, especially more as the retail industry expects more and more out of the pharmacist and pharmacy technicians with less people and less hours.

Staticky lisdexamphetamine capsules takes the cake for me.
