Typically, if there are no letters after the chemical/prescription, it is "immediate release," meaning the chemical/medicine in the pill are released and absorbed naturally. If there is a delaying agent, there is usually some letters after the name, such as SR (sustained-release) or XR (extended-release).

The chemical is the same, but the pill uses some technique that slows the absorption of the chemical. So instead of taking one (immediate release) pill in the morning, another in the afternoon and one more in the evening, a patient could take one Sustained-Release, or Extended Release tablet in the morning and it will last throughout the day.

What lasts longer Generic Adderall or Adderall XR?

Adderall XR lasts longer. The XR stands for extended release and lasts around 8-12 depending on the consumer, mg, & tolerance. Generic Adderall which is actually Adderall IR (Instant Release) only lasts for a few hours (about 4 depending on the mgs) because Adderall XR is made from 2 different "beads" which one type releases automatically n the other type releases in about 4 hours so in the end Adderall xr lasts about 8 - 12 hours. When you pay for the Adderall XR you are paying for the extended release feature. SO Adderall XR lasts longer than Adderall IR.
