No it's not, for a variety of reasons.

Crushing that medication can cause faster absorption, higher levels of the medication entering your system all at once, and shorter effective duration.

In some cases, painkillers are acidic, and can cause irritation to the mouth and upper gastrointestinal tract. These are coated with an enteric coating, which chewing breaks.

So No -- bad idea.
