Probably a potential danger of turning it into an IR instant plasma amount of the drug.
What would be the point ?
If [blank] XR/XL/etc were to cover something taken 2 or 3 or 4 times a day, I mean it would be like taking it all at once.
And that's unpredictable, with some medications that could cause a nasty reaction, who knows, anxiety spells, seriously increased chances of side effects already felt, which could be any sort of possible dangerous thing.
Also it could cause withdrawals if done continuously, since Medication Z has a short half life, so there would be a decreasing amount left at the end of the day.
So, don't.
