[QUOTE="buddy, post: 510771, member: 12886"] Will be interested to hear what psychiatrist says. Yeah, splitting=cutting the dose is probably not what was meant... dividing it... as in having whole tabs/caps whatever it is... each of a lesser dose given at different times but adding up to the total dose... not actually cutting the medication unless it is short acting and approved by the dr and/or pharmacist. We have done that with many medications... his Lyrica/seizure medication made him totally drugged at 200 in the morn and 200 at night. So dr ordered it in one hundred mg caps and fifty mg caps then said to take 150 in morn and night and 100 in the middle of the day.. he then received the benefits still but he was a totally different kid. Not at all drugged out. Depends on the medication, the kid, the delivery method... uggg it can be so wearing. [/QUOTE]
