Yeah, it's the beads or spansules that have the time-release coating (or at least some of them do) so the capsule doesn't matter.
> I want it to still have the sustained-release effect after I split it, so this sounds good. I'm surprised that it's just half dissolves immediately, half 4 hours later. The advertisements make a big deal out of "4 different salts of amphetamine" getting absorbed at 4 different rates. If the WdbMD info is correct, anybody could get the exact same XR effect by just taking half a regular Adderall now, half 4 hours later.I think you're right. The marketing sounds like a lot of b.s. Still, if it helps you a lot then who cares?
