As long as it's not a time release type.

Diet pills DO work. BUT they have majour side effects. They also have a ton of ingredients. So it is possible to be allergic to one or more that you are ingesting. When that happens it can be real horrible. They are also costly, and can be bad on your liver long term. You don't see this as something a lot of people talk about because most don't relate it. However certain herbal remedies (which is what a lot of these diet pills tout being) are actualy herbs and combinations of herbs that can be rough on your body and your liver which filters much of what goes in your body. As an example, most people don't know that Asprin, ibuprofen AND the main ingredient in Aleve are ALL rough on the liver as well. As others have said. Your diet determines your weight loss. Along those lines, you might want to try negative calorie foods. Those are foods that take more calories and energy to eat, then they provide. A perfect example is Celery. Along the lines of exercise, if you have stairs near you, but not a lot of time in the day...take the stairs instead of the elevator, maybe go up and down them once or twice extra each time. There you go, you just fit exercise into your day, and it will add up. In addition, I would like to suggest taking a multi vitamin along with any diet you are on. We tend to unknowingly deprive ourselves of vitamins as it is, but it tends to get a lot worse when we diet.

I have to crush my pills, also. They work just as well except they taste horrible. But just be sure not to crush the time release, because that is very dangerous. You get too much of the medicine at one time.

some meds are timed released. you would have to check with a pharmacist or the manufacture to make sure.

Yeah, it will still work.
The only things that don't work if you crush them are electrical equipment and other people.
