    Europeans be like: “I’m just gonna take a half tablet, don’t want to get dependent on this stuff”

    Meanwhile, Americans:

        Don’t be fooled, they put a sugar coating around the OTC stuff. Instant release Adderall on the other hand… that shit tastes pretty good

          I switched pharmacies and holy shit do the different Adderall generics taste different. I’m stuck now with the Meijer pharmacy because I can’t go back to the bitter vomit-inducing crap I was getting at Rite Aid.

            Wish I could be of more help. I’ve had two different types of generic instant release and they both tasted lightly sweet and went down with 0 issues . Maybe I got lucky haha. Idk if name brand or generic makes much of a difference price-wise for you but you could always try parachuting your pills (without crushing them obv) to put a barrier between your tongue and the pill

        The coating on advil is sweetened. The actual medicine tastes horrible.

        I dunno. When i take the pill ibruprofen its the most sour thing ever. You can literally see the face muscles of someone taking it contracting.

        I wonder if this is also one of those genetic things like cilantro, because ibuprofen tastes nasty as fuck to me. Like “bitter and my tongue wants to cut itself off to stop the taste even after a drink” nasty.

          Just depends on the manufacturer. Unless you’re comparing with different people from the same bottle.
