Why shouldn't we crush ALL our meds post op?

Hi! Just wanted to mention that some meds are time released.So it's a good idea to check on this first before you crush or break them in half.As I was swallowing an antidepressant, I accidentally bit into it and crushed it.I felt nauseous and "strange" for 2 days afterwards.My doc said that it was because it was a timed release pill.
