I think it should be possible making meth without crushing the Iodine out by adding sodium thiosulfate, but of course probably the product could be not from the highest purity. But I never tried it this way.
Just to give my 2 cent's to the Pseudo-pill extraction:
I was using pills containing 60mg Pseudo and 2,5mg Triprolidine each.
I started to extract all the stuff 2-3 times with denatured alcohol and after drying I first did an 12-15h xylene soak under periodically stiring. After that I washed the Pseudo by cocking it 3 times in fresh toluene for 10 minutes under magnetic stiring and good ventilation.
After filtration and drying I recristalized it in an mixture of EtOH and some water and the product was pretty clean and good precursor for making Meth via I/RP.
All solvents were dried with molecular sieves before use.
