? What do you mean ? What are you asking.... ?

 

[mgrady3]

you mean like someone emptied a gelcap and snorted the contents, but you are wondering what's left in the gel cap?

Probably gonna be a negligible amount, maybe a couple mg. And there's no way for us to know how much is left without actually seeing it, and even then, it's gonna be mostly guesswork trying to eyeball the dose.

 

[shpongle1987]

doubt it.

Send an empty capsule to a lab for GC/MS analysis. Otherwise there's really no way to know. I doubt the company producing adderall (can't recall right now..) would publish information like that; at least to the general public.

I swore i read it on bluelight? I think it said 2.5 of the mg was still in each 20 mg cap. This time im talking about the 30mg capsules adderal xr. Im wondering if im snorting them am i wasting some of the drug by throwing away the caps?

All the actives in Adderall XR are located in the beads, not in the capsule casing itself. I think that whoever said that to the OP was either bullshitting, or speculating.

Because amphetamine has a long pharmacokinetic half-life, doubling of serum concentration can be achieved by giving a second bolus dose of amphetamine, as demonstrated in the above study. Also, the technology of polymer-coated beads can be used to delay the release of the second dose after a morning administration that contains an IR component (uncoated beads) and a delayed-release component (coated beads). Adderall XR—an extended-release formulation of mixed amphetamine salts—is composed of 50% immediate-release beads and 50% delayed-release beads designed to release medication after about 4 hours to mimic the effects of two doses of IR Adderall given 4 hours apart (Figure 7).8,9,10 The product is formulated in capsules containing 5 to 30 mg of drug, and can be sprinkled onto food for children who have difficulty swallowing pills. Adderall XR is currently unavailable in Canada.

What you might be talking about is concerta capsules. They have 20% of the dose in the outer coating.
