What is the best way to take concerta, to get the best effect. is it safe to snort or better to take orally.
 
Also, when you peel off the first layer of the outer coating you should eat that. 22% of the methalphenidate is in that. They did this so you would get an immediate dose instead of waiting for the inside part to kick in after you ingest a whole pill (it takes an hour). But don't try to crush the outer coat up and inhale it. It's very plastic/sticky like and won't work. It should only take about 15 minutes or so for it to get into your system after you swallow the coating.

Because a lot of doctors like to give the extended release pills because it is harder to abuse and it lessons the "rebound effect" of stimulants. You could tell the doctor that concerta is not working for you and try to get another form though. Good luck.
 
Just tell them you're poor and can't afford it, last time I checked concerta was something like $80 WITH INSURANCE! while generic ritalin SR 20mg cost me something like $15. Ridiculous to pay that much, addict or not.
 
I get Concerta for $15 for 30 pills, so thats not the problem, just was not sure which way was better. Thanks for all your help.
 
i think snorting that sticky clumpy powder is a pain in the ass... concerta itself is a pain in the ass to use recreationally or even productively, but obviously it can be done. the way i found best to use them is to put all the methylphenidate containing material into a cup of coffee, prepared however you wish to drink it, and drink that pretty quickly... i normally continue to drink coffee and do whatever is planned (normally a tedious task like cleaning my room); it is reasonably effective, but obtaining a better form of speed is much more reliable.
