Crushes beads: Firstly one should not be tampering with medication designed for oral use. The worse that can happen is an anaphylactic reaction to some component of the bead structure. There is also the possibility of overdose as well if you survive the anaphylactic reaction.

STOP!: It is not recommended to temper with long acting narcotics due to overdose potential. It appears that you might addict to opioid. Please seek help from an addiction specialist.
