20. Tablet Splitting

The pill splitters I got from the VAMC were really flimsy. The clear cover was made from the same kind of plastic used in CD cases, which crack or break pretty easily. I just gave up with the frustration and bought a really nice pill splitter that also crushes tablets too.

Bearing in mind, during all this discussion about "splitting pills" that there are the occasional instances wherein YOUR "optimum dosage" may very well fall between the dosages manufactured by the pharma company.

I am a good example. I have a med that I take that is only manufactured in 100mg or 200mg "splittable" tablets. My "optimum dosage" (the dosage that helps keep my MDD controlled but doesn't cause my dick to malfunction) is 350mg.

I'm more than willing to split the pill, considering the alternative(s)! B)

The splitter that I received was also flimsy and the cutter caused more crushing to the pill. So when i spoke to the PCP he stated that he had overdosed me cause he knew the splitters cause crushing of the pill.

Go figure
