Just a thought...
Could you "remake" the pills by dividing the capsules in half? I'm sure you could find empty capsules or some cheap ones you could empty out at a drug store to divide them up. Even if they are time-released, you could find out if it's the actual beads inside or the capsules that make them time released. If it's the beads, no problem. If it's the capsule part, you could look for time release capsules at the drug store, as well. Maybe ask a pharmacist about it? Just a thought to save you from being too sped out all day. After the first script is gone, you could either change to a different pill or your body may be used to them at that point and you could take the whole pill.

Sorry for the rambling... just a thought...
One of my friends is vegan and she cannot take capsules, so she's always either emptying her capsules into drinks or finding animal-friendly ones... that's why I thought you could recap them...
Best of luck to you!
