A member asked:

Do the adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) 3060 work the same or better if u swallow the little beads instead of in the capsal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: It will be absorbed faster, and hit you harder, but will not be as therapeutic, as it will wear off sooner. What you are describing is abuse of the medication, and not being used as a doctor would prescribe.
