I told my friend that he shouldent open the capsule and take the white and yellow part because its not meant to be taken like that and i told him it would make him hallucinat and it would make him addicted and he doesn't believe me. The pills are Concerta time release alza 36. Please someone answer because i dont want my best friend addicted to Ritalin.

The concern with doing that with time released medications is the risk of overdose, because someone could get too much of the medication, at once.

However, it may not necessarily make him hallucinate or cause addiction, but the risk is there. These risks are present with any medication that is abused and the overdose risk from defeating the time released mechanism.

Typical side effects of this medication may include nausea, headache, irritability, nervousness, insomnia, headache and weight loss.

Really, abuse places his life at risk and, if this is behavior that he's engaging in regularly, then he needs to get help.

Are there any other questions or concerns?

He has been taking it nasaly and i have been noticing hes very easy to aggravate he dosent sleep much and when hes on it he talks realy fast and always seems like hes out of breath from talking. He dosent have an apitite but forces himself to eat. And iv been noticing social withdrawal. But while doing this nasaly his math mark in school has gone way up and he uses that as an excuse. Iv also noticed he will zone out alot like a zombie. He told me that when he does alot he has auditory hallucinations. Is this all true?? I hope not
