The pharmaceutical company that makes your pills makes them according to what your body is going to do with it, if it is time released that means your body only needs a certain amount to be released at a time to be therapeutic, crushing the tablet can cause rapid absorption and thereby a rapid reaction, some reactions are fatal and can cause heart attack (in the case of crushing potassium) Liver or Kidney failure or severe anyphalactic shock. The rule of thumb is if it's time released do not crush. There are many sites to look up medications and I suggest you look up your meds to see if you can crush them or call your nurse, they can't bill you for a phone call.
