I have been splitting the 1 mg tabs for a couple of years now. As soon as I dropped below 8 mg I needed to taper .5 mg at a time. I use 5 mg and 1 mg tabs. My ones are scored down the middle and I use a pill cutter. It was hard to find one that did a good job. Even if the pill is split unevenly I get the whole 1 mg over 2 days. Unfortunately, my ones and fives are both orange, just a slightly different shade and size. My doctor thought a .5 mg drop was too small but I told him that was how I needed to do it.
