I've read a lot of the answers about crushing pills but I had another question or two. I take about 35 perscription medications each week and a lot of the bottles say do not crush or chew. On the bottles that do not say that, is it safe to crush those up and mix them with food? A lot of the pills just dissolve on my tongue and taste horrible. I also have sudden severe headaches and a lot of the time my vicodin or tylenol3 takes forever to work. I wondered if crushing those would increase the speed that my system metabolizes those pills. I know there's a danger when crushing any pill that you'll receive too much of the dose at once (especially with time release pills like ambien or lunesta) but is it something that will cause serious health issues or just something to be wary of and only do occasionally?
