Since most Rx medications have time release coatings on them, what does splitting them in half and then taking them do? Does it come on faster... stronger?

You're better off chewing them.

If it really has to go fast, u just could crush them and then rail them.

As was mentioned already, just chew them, that usually breaks the coating, I don't know if you are speaking of oxycontins, or MSIR's Morpine Sulfate Instant Relief which you don't need to, but MS Contins are time released which is Morphine Sulfate. Anything (Contin) means Time Released. Hope that answers your question. Crush them, be careful if you attempt to snort such pills, not recomended, but what the hell we are doing drugs right? So just make sure what you are doing, and start in small doses.

No, I was wondering what splitting them WOULD do. I dont really plan on it though. But back to the main question, would breaking the time release coating make it come on faster, harder? But if it did, wouldnt the duration be shorter?

I think it's best to take them on an empty stomach, no citric juices, no sugary/fatty foods, and take them with a warm liquid, like tea. Warm fluids help the pills 'melt'

crushing pills will make them come on faster and harder, but last shorter.

so... sammy, you were correct.

[whoops, realized you were talking about breaking instead of crushing!

breaking may make them come on a little faster, but not much.

with things like time released adderol (or any pill that comes with little beads of medicine in a gelcap) breaking them open won't do jack shit.]

Old Sammy - Were you talking about Concerta? Them bitches are a pain in the ass. You can quickly dissolve the outside layer by putting the pills in a bowl of water and adding some rubbing alcohol, then mixing them up until all the outer coating is off, then rinsing them off. The inner layer is fucking gay. Gay gay gay gay gay. And snorting that shit may work, but it still licks balls. Avoid the green shit. Ughhh...
