[quote=Anonymous]The generic is much different. The concerta er has lazer presidium technology and drill a small precise hole which the medicine is slowly release from. The pill is made up of a special coating of polymers which expand when the water from you body is absorbed to the pill which then expands.  the pill is 3 chambers which have medicine and is released through that hole and is what they call the innovative time released formula.
The generic is not as precise and only has to be 80% of the brand name dose. This means companies can save money but not giving you as much medicine and let you pay less. Would it make sense for any company to waste money on 
you if they didn't have too? Of course not - so don't listen to the bs. 
The old saying - you get what you paid for
Some medicines are more sensitive to this 
Also. The generic concerta looks almost exact but has a tiny diffrence . The alza might look thinner or completely on center, but the sides are a good indicater. You can look up what the generic vs brand looks like. It even shows you a picture of it crushed. They don't look the same inside and its not time released like the brand in fact, accprding to one site the generic version is easier for drug abuse because its not contained in chambers and once you get past the shell it's all really to snort. As for the brand name - you would have a harder time from separating it and getting past the shell and chambers. I didnt verify this info by testing it out but I'm sure it is accurate. 
I have been on generic and I got suspended 6 times before first period in high school. I did not know I was getting the generic till after I peiced the puzzle together. Once they put me back on the concerta I was fine. 
To give any technician that is is diffrent. 
Try pittin up with my on the generic you will be the most miserable person in the world . Ps without the brand name concerta or if I don't take my ADHD med for the day I can't stop eating . 
So I concerta I eat around 600 calories 
Generic : 3,000
No med: 4,500 
I get extreamly sick if I don't take brand name. I'm healthy weight and it's thanks to concerta.[/quote]
