### 5/5 — Thank you!! Brilliant idea

*2026-06-02*

And very well executed. Have you done anything to spread awareness/increase participation? Like a QR code to put on stickers for bulletin boards/clinics, etc. I'm definitely doing to share this with fellow adhd ppl. Hoping it really takes off bc we seem to be the only ones actively working to find meds that actually work.

### 5/5 — Fantastic resource

*2026-04-25*

This app is exactly what I’ve been wishing for since ADHD medication has declined in quality in the last few years. It’s a very good resource, and it’s so validating to see what other people are reporting as well. It’s also a very nice-looking app, and intuitive to use 😊

My only suggestions: 
1. I’m not sure if this is a metric that matters, but I wonder if some option for region could be included for the pharmacies reported. I sometimes wonder if national chains distribute different manufacturers to different parts of the US. 
2. Wellbutrin XL needs higher dosage options (like 300mg and 450mg), or perhaps the option to write one in.

Many thanks!!

### 5/5 — I am so glad this exists

*2026-04-19*

Seriously such a smart app. I thought I was crazy when my meds had different effectiveness levels and just didn’t feel the same, and the I realized others are experiencing the same problem. And not just a few; a LOT ( via @thisaintadderall on Reddit) 
Anyway. Great concept. Wish more people knew about it!

### 5/5 — Everyone taking meds should report their experiences!!!

*2026-04-14*

This is genius. We need more people to put in their reviews.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-02-14*

It’s nice to know it’s not just me. Generics are inconsistent and it’s not okay for pharmacists to be switching every month. I hope this app helps to fix these issues with medication. Also the developer is very responsive to inquiries.

### 5/5 — Grateful for a central and thorough source of info

*2026-01-22*

So grateful for this app, thank you for making a method to track and share our experiences so easy, and help us inform each other of how refills and side effects are faring!

### 5/5 — ADHD med tracking for the WIN!

*2026-01-01*

Love this app for tracking specifics of generic manufacturers and also effectiveness and side effects for the IR and ER generic Adderall prescriptions that I take daily. I’ve been given quite a few different generic brands so far and after an ER/XR from Camber gave me constant migraine headaches that almost lost me my job, I’ve been trying to track what I’m being given at the pharmacy so I know what each brand is doing to my body. This app is great so far and super easy to navigate. Thanks random person on Reddit for making my complicated med and symptom tracking easier. 🙂

**Developer response:** Hello! So happy the app helps you out! Let me know if there is anything more specific tracking wise that would be helpful, I would love to add some more features for the tracking side of things.

### 5/5 — Great app! Just a suggestion

*2025-12-13*

I often switch generics every few months. Every now and then I’ll find a better working one and it will be okay for a month and the next it’s like a different medicine.

It’s even gotten to the point where I’m now back on a generic I originally hated, but due to all the frustrations and hoop jumping I completely forgot that the brand I just got reacts terribly with my brain chemistry.

I think if you added a personal “notes” section dedicated to each specific generic. Users could go through and look back on personal records or important reminders regarding the specific generic.

it would help in many more circumstances. 
for example I could write “this generic is often terrible in my experience. Don’t let them fill your script with it”, or I could write something along the lines of “check the bottle before you leave the pharmacy and make sure they didn’t fill it with (insert generic).”

Apologies if this is hard to understand, it’s very difficult to explain when I’m asking, but regardless.

in Laymans terms I think a simple note section under each generic where users can record private notes and anecdotes about specific generics would be great.

All in all this is such a great app and I think once more people start recording their findings and using it a pattern will emerge and we will be able to dictate what works before we subject ourselves to terrible side effects. Cheers!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the feedback and using the app! I will work on this feature ASAP!
