Are you able to digest them properly? Do you crush them instead?

depends on the pill. Extended release will not digest. If i take a pill that is scored i cut it in half, or i try to take chewable stuff

Slow release pills dont digest for me either, or any pills with coatings. So when I need any medication we opt for patches where possible and pills that disolve quickly

Extended Release are not recommended. I've even had problems with vitamins coming out whole so I just make sure I take them with food and it's usually okay!
