>Scott,
You *could* open the 37.5mg XR capsule and divide the contents in two and take half a capsule. That's what I do with a 37.mg XR (divided into thirds-for 12.5mg). It is approximate, but it works ok. My pdoc knows how sensitive to meds I am and isn't concerned with the method. If you switch I would go with the Celexa. If you make any changes later the Prozac takes too long to go away. You also indicated possibly flipping to Celexa anyhow.
good luck,
Mitch
