I'm going to a rave tonight and I don't have any e so I'm just going to take some adderall that I've had lying around. It's an orange and white capsule with "m. amphet salts 25 mg" written on it. I've taken the same pill once before and it was a little overpowering, a few time I thought my heart was going to explode and I got really sweaty, although it went away after I took a moment and to calm myself down. Since I'm not going to take it until around 10pm or so tonight, and the latest I'll be staying is until around 1:30, I really don't want to be feeling it for the next like 10 hours. I was considering possibly lowering the dosage by opening the capsule up and dumping like half of it out. Is this safe or a good idea?

Yeah, it's safe. Inside the capsule are little orange beads, and you can take out however many you want. Just be sure to do this over a container or creased piece of paper or something so that they won't spill out everywhere. I've done this plenty of times.
 
Since you had such a strong reaction to only a 25mg extended release and you only want it to last 3 and a half hours Id say open it up, take about half, but break the beads so you will get rid of the time release.

I usually just pour it into my mouth and chew the beads, but if you want to make sure you break all the time release you have to grind it really hard on a table with a credit card or ID or whatever.

So do I just pour the crushed contents back into the capsule?

If you want I guess. But Id probably just eat the powder by licking your fingers to get the powder to stick or you can pour it into a glass of water. Or you can snort it but I dont usually do that because the only benefit of snorting it is a faster onset but maybe it'll be better for you because then it wont last as long.
 
If your into snorting then snorting the Adderall powder is the way to go for a late night party. The effects will be significantly shorter and you will need less of the powder to get your desired effect. Also be wary about snorting uncrushed beads. If your stomach takes 6 hours to brake them down then how could your nose handle it.

Also have a no-go pill ready for you when you get home. Try getting Seroquel, Xanax, etc. What ever you prefer.

Have fun.
 
Crushing adderall does not fully defeat the time release, as adderall XR uses an ionic-exchange release mechanism

however, if you want to last as shortly as possible crush it up and put it up the ol' snooter a few mins before your rave

you'll probably still be up till about 4 or 5 in the morning though, especially if you're somewhat sensitive to 25mg's

don't worry, i've noticed a lot of people tend to exaggerate their tolerance over the internet (yeah dawg i totally snorted 100mg's and fell straight to sleep 3 hours later)... 8)
 
Yeah, plan on being up and ready to keep going with whatever you're doing after 1:30am, if you take it at 10:00pm, especially since it's an XR version.

As others mentioned, you may want to open the capsule and chew/snort/whatever a desired portion of the contents, so as to feel the effects more quickly, and not have it last until nine oclock the next morning, unless that's what you're looking for.
 
I find alcohol masks the effects of the adderall come-down perfectly. But that's sort of unique to me I guess.

i find that one or two drinks actually masks the euphoria of the adderall (beer coma perhaps?). i have to get wasted to feel the synergies. but yes, it definitely helps with the come down.
