Did you calculate what percentage you titrated when you cut it by 12.5 mg?
Take care,

Hi, thanks for this. I just did what my pharmacist recommended: emptied a 25 mg capsule and divided the powder in half, taking that half with some jam together with a full 25 mg cap, to make a 37.5 mg dose instead of my usual morning 50 mg. My doctor recommended I try this too. I was fairly OK most of the day (as it goes) but by 4 very bad nausea hit--similar to the day before, when I'd taken 50 mg morning and evening as I had been for weeks.

What should I do instead? It doesn't come any smaller than 25 mg caps where I live. I'm trying to figure out whether to take the other 12.5 mg plus a 25 tonight, or take a whole 50 mg. I'm really beside myself. I ask these questions to professionals and they insist this doesn't happen so they don't know what to tell me.
Thanks!
