i crushed up some focalin xr beads with a mortar and pestle but i noticed that it did not dissolve fully even though it seemed to be powdered - there were segments that looked like they could be the casings? it still worked when plugged but not sure if i got the full dose, couldn't really plug the solids. should i have just kept going at it / is there a better way to deal w these ? are these just the casings, or do the casings have a signficant amount of drug on them? it was 20mg xr into 2mL of water, for reference, altho it was around 400mg of beads which i suspect might have made a difference - water was warm but not hot (was worried about degradation)
 
d-threo-Methylphenidate HCL (Focalin) is the desired stereo isomer and in its water soluble hydrochloride salt

The XR beads or tablets also have inert excipients for compressed branded tablet or XR bead technology

d-MPH is water soluble…..some of the excipients aren’t……..segregate that crap cause your Focalin HCL is in water solution.

I get 50-70mg IR and usually take orally after light fatty healthy meal….bacon, eggs, toast, OJ (which enhances absorption via oral administration….which also is relatively high)

Co-administration of ethanol/ alcohol enhances euphoria from Ritalin & Focalin ……along with an opioid like Oxycodone and maybe a Xanax 1mg blue football
