Hello, Troy! How are you?

Yes, that would defeat the time released mechanism and is not safe to do.

The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
