Elvanse not working?

Let me start first by saying I'm only just due to start my first dose of Elvanse 30mg this week. I'm newly diagnosed so not been medicated before.

As part of my hyper focus into Elvanse since having it prescribed to me I came across a thread on Reddit where a lot of people were saying that their Elvanse no longer seemed to be working like it used to. Long story short, it seemed to be an issue with the batch numbers starting in 31 and 32 that weren't working the way they should and the effects on people taking them were really diminished and some likened it to taking a placebo pill. It seems to have been a global issue from Brazil, to Canada and the US to the EU

Has anyone on here experienced this? The batch I'm due to start has a 32 in the beginning of it. I'm just worried that if it doesn't work and I don't notice an effect with this, will my Dr up me to a different strength when I perhaps don't actually need it and it's just a bad batch of 30mg.

Hope that makes sense?

I don’t look at the batch numbers but have had no issue with my prescription. When you’re titrating your dose if you feel your it is too high you ask for it to be reduced.

I went up to 60mg as I was choosing my dose during a very stressful time but have now come down to, and settled on, 40mg.
