hey! Opening up the capsule may or may not do anything...some XR formulas also involve altering the drug itself (like Ritalin LA)...basically, they're trying to both maximize the XR action AND prevent drug abuse. Adderall may or may not do that...at any rate, the most you could expect would be a more immediate "hit" of adderall, which could last anywhere from 7-10 hours, depending on your reaction to it. Personally, I like the immediate-release Adderall (available as generic, btw) much more than the XR...the initial impact takes a little getting used to, but it seems to work better (although it doesn't last as long). Good luck.
