I’ve definitely had different responses to generics, which often have different formulations of additives and varying amounts of the actual drug.

Was there any break between taking the generic and then going back to to the brand name?
When you began taking brand name XR again, did you take the full dose or did you titrate back up?

I don’t know if the answers to either of those questions actually make any difference, but it might.  The only time I’ve had the kind of physical response you describe is when I’ve taken too much of the drug when I was in the initial stages of trying to figure out the correct dosage for me.

In any case, Adderall is not the only drug out there. I take Focalin XR (also pricey and I don’t think there is a generic yet) and I like it and have not had a lot of problems with it since I stabilized my dosage.
