36 mg concerta... slower release?

[deadmoap]

Well I saw my therapist today. She said she would put me on adderall,
but since I'm getting UAed and I'm on probation, it would give me a
dirty and she doesn't want to go through all that. First she put me on
18 mg... the lowest one, because she was afraid I would have anxiety
problems (another reason I have conerta instead of adderall). Today she
was going to put me on 27 mg... I didn't want to have to wait another
month JUST for 36 mg, so I told her that after about two weeks, the 18
mg stopped working, and there was one day that I really needed to
concentrate so I took two of them, and it worked. She looked down on
this and said not to do it unless I'm told to, but then she said that
if 36 mg works with no anxiety or stomach problems, she'll give me that
instead. It's hard to describe to her what being on the medicine is
like, since I don't take it every day and haven't developed a
tolerance. I take three of them, usually about once or twice a week.
Keeps my tolerance down, and keeps me unaddicted



So I got the prescription, and looked at the pills. They're about 10
times as big as the 18 mg. This makes me think... do the 36 mg digest
slower than the 18 mg? I took two of them, which should be like taking
four of the 18 mg (I usually take three)... it seemed like it came on a
little slower and I couldn't really tell. Usually I get a pretty hyper
buzz where I feel like doing a bunch of things, talking, and asking
quesitons. I knew it was working because I've been talking way more,
but I haven't really felt the urge to do things.



Well what I really want to know is... how many mg of concerta is
considered a good high? Or should I try to just take them apart and put
the powder in gel caps. I thought this would be impossible with those
tiny 18 mg, but it probably wouldn't be too difficult with these. I'm
way too much of a pussy to snort anything though.
