[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 204859, member: 2423"] We have always cut our 25 mg Lamictal tablets in half with a pill splitter, per our psychiatrists, especially when we were titrating slowly up on Lamictal (12.5 mg increase every two weeks). I understand the 100 mg tablet are big enough that you can break them in half with your hands. I hate to say it, but I think your pharmacist is wrong. If a tablet it scored, it's allowed to be cut in half. It sounds as if the literature says you won't want to chew Lamictal because it has a bitter taste, but that doesn't mean you can't split it to halve the dose. [/QUOTE]
