Probably you'll be really feeling the positive effects for about 4 hours but since crushing the beads doesn't completely disable the time release mechanism you'll probably keep feeling residual effects for like 8-12 hours at most.

Exactly what he said. Residual stimulation is a bitch with the XR, no matter if it's crushed up. I really hate it, especially the other night when I only had 1mg of Clonazepam to comedown and it just wasn't doing it for sleep.

I used to be prescribed Adderall XR, 25 mg, b.i.d. What I would do was, in the morning at around 8 or 9, take one capsule, pour half into my mouth and chew up the beads, holding and swishing it all in my mouth for as long as I could for whatever sublingual/buccal absorption I could get out of it that way. Then I would repeat the same at about 11. At around 3 pm I would take the 2nd capsule and do the same thing, but would swallow it as soon as the beads were chewed up. This would get me pretty much through the day, and by around 10 or 11 at night I would be set for bed. Most afternoons after the last dose, I would get a fair amount of exercise, skateboarding for usually 2 or 3 hours after class which helped keep me in good shape, combined with forcing myself to eat regularly, and sleeping (being active every day helped this). After an old Ambien prescription of mine ran out, my doctor gave me 100 mg of Seroquel for sleeping, of which I would only need about 25 mg on most nights.
But yeah, that's pretty much how I was able to get the most out of 50 mg a day. You could try the same thing with whatever amount, keeping the ratio of 1/4, 1/4 then 1/2 the same.

The thing about your method Shameful is that not all of the beads contained in an Adderall XR cap are the same. You might not be taking it for recreational effects, but do note that 50% of the beads are time release beads while the other half are basically IR beads.
That's why when my friend decided to sell me 5x 20mg Adderall XR as ALL beads in a baggie, it was a big problem. I take them recreationally, and there's a DEFINITE difference in effects. I had measured 3 pills average weight (with the beads poured out) to get a general sense of what I should weigh out for around 20mg of what I was given by my friend, but completely forget about the fact all the beads aren't the same. What I had was almost a waste of 5 pills.
So what I'm saying is, in my case, when I weighed out an amount equal to a single capsule, for all I know it could be ALL XR beads. Even after crushing them up and plugging as per my usual ROA, there was a very very noticeable diminish in effects. Not to mention the person I shared this with noticed this immediately too.
There is no way to differentiate between the beads.
