When I was ready to go down from 37.5 my PC doctor told me to divide the capsules in half but the psychiatrist she referred me to for the withdrawal process (his main field is psychopharmacology) disagreed and said that not all the beads were the same and that it was not a good idea to do that. So he prescribed some 25 mg tablets so that I could split them as needed.

Interesting -- I haven't broken open a capsule -- but there may be different coatings on different beads and they may be the same color.
