I have terrible back pain about 2 to 3 hours into my sleep cycle at night. I take a single lortab for the pain before I go to bed but it is quite unecessary considering my pain doesnt start for a few hours later. It would be awesome to be able to slip some form of covering over the med that would allow it to start working 3-4 hours after I take it.

You can buy empty gel caps at a lot of pharmacies. You have to ask for them cause they don't keep them out in front. They're really cheap. They come in various sizes. While you're at it you ought to ask the pharmacist for advice about your medication problem.

There are gelatin capsules, I've only seen them at herb stores. I don't know that they'd serve the purpose you're looking for. Maybe you can talk to your doctor about a time release medicine, that and try to find a better bed.
