The reason you should not chew or crush time-release (tr) or
continuous-release (cr) tablets, is because the tablet is designed to
release the medication at a constant rate. This rate is a function of the
surface area of the tablet. Chewing greatly increases the surface area
available to release the medicine. You must have been taking the
equivalent of a single dose instantly to the gut. I'm glad you are seeing a
substantial improvement; it should continue.
