tykerb help?

It may sound weird but I since childhood have had a severe fear of taking any and all medications in a pill form. Ive done everything and even tried help. I never have oassed this fear. Anything that is hard pill form I either crush or chew. Thankfully I found a pharmacy that can turn any med. to a liqued form. Sadly however someone at the pharmacy burnt themselves with the liqued Tykerb and they told me they can no longer turn Tykerb into a liqued form. I dont want to stop taking it but have been told it shouldnt be crushed. Has anyone ever heard that med tykerb can not be crushed?
