Thanks for the reminder about compound pharmacies. If I can’t wean off this with longer and longer gaps, I may have to go that way to lower the dose even more. Thanks.
Hopefully you’re using a pill cutter. I don’t have problems with accidental crushing using those. Easier to cut evenly as well. Using a knife definitely crushes part of a tablet. Best of luck.

@californiazebra yes I use a pill cutter, have tried several, but on a tablet that's only about an eight of an inch wide to start with cutting with sufficient accuracy is tough, they are not scored or designed to be cut.
I seldom have to waste a tablet but I often have to assemble half from some smashed pieces and hope I'm within 10% or so of the ideal. I try to take "the big half" at night, the smaller half around noon!
