Another Adderall XR Question

[wlliams8942]

I was just wondering if the Adderall XR capsule that the beads are in just the plain capsule itself has any importance at all?

And if you crush the beads into powder and put the powder back into the capsule and take it orally if it would work like Adderall IR? I know i've asked this question before and i'm sorry for asking again but I didn't get an exact answer about it.


Any input is appreciated.

It is just a plain capsule used to hold the adderall.

They are time release beads, some release instantly, some a few hours later. Crushing them up and putting them back into the capsule would make it work like Adderall IR, yes.

Wrong. I know this from alot of experience, thats what I always did (crush them and re-pack it in the capsule or pour on tongue and swallow). The XR capsule that pulls apart (half clear half orange) is just cellulose or w/e to hold the beads, The XR version of adderall has an outer layer which is the same as the IR. When you get to the middle of the bead is when the 2nd "dose" kicks in...roughly 4 hours after the initial effects. This composition of the drug is absorbed slower than the outside layer. Crushing the XR into powder and ingesting does NOT totally negate its time release effect as its still the same composition of the outer bead and inner bead just all mixed together, which takes the same amount of time for your stomach acid to digest and metabolize. Crushing DOES how ever speed up the rate at which your body is able to do this, so a bit of the effectiveness of the time release is detered and onset comes on a bit quicker.

Take it whole, crush it, parachute it or whatever... youre still gonna be tweaking balls for 12+ hours.
