Before 2010, higher-income taxpayers were subject to a phase-out rule that curtailed deductions for personal and dependent exemptions. That rule was gone for 2010, 2011 and 2012 but is back for 2013 and beyond.
Irish drugmaker Shire Pharmaceuticals has been ordered to pay a $56.5 million fine to settle claims that it exaggerated the benefits of several of its drugs, including Adderall XR and Vyvanse, both used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The maker of generic Adderall XR is Teva. Generic Adderall (not XR) is made by several companies including TEVA and CorePharma. If you take Adderall XR then the price for the generic is only a bit less than it is for the brand. The generic Adderall is fairly cheap but the price varies greatly but typically $25-40 USD.
