I've been prescribed concerta 54mg for about a year now, and I know aboutall the layers and abuse potential. Now I've been switched to generic concerta(didn't even know this was legal in the US) and I'm wondering how exactly this pill works, as in its mechanisms, effectiveness, abuse potential/risks, ect. For instance if I crushe the pill I get a mostly white powder. Is this white powder safe to snort or do anything else with perhaps? Are there any defense mechanisms I should know about if I were to abuse this? I can't find and information on it.
 
Well I'm not well versed in these stims, especially the brands, however I don't believe anyone is going to be able to help you with the information that you've given. If I hear generic Concerta I assume it is the exact same as Concerta just without the brand marketing. I think you might mean that you just have another methylphenidate ER preparation and don't know the mechanism behind it. If this is the case then wouldn't people need the name of the company who makes it and as much other information as possible?
 
The outer coating has some percentage of the methylphenidate in it. The plastic casing behind the white coating has a laser drilled hole in one end of it and the rest of the methylphenidate is slowly excreted from that hole. I could not recommend snorting it, but it is possible to peel the the second layer off and crush the white part that is in it. It also effectively destroys the time release to cut the capsule in half.
