You'd be better off to take the whole tab... if you crack it in half you'll defeat the enteric coating and you could get nausea and GI upset from that. My pdoc in the past has mentioned taking 250mg every other day as an option instead of going down to 125mg tabs (during winter depressions). I've never tried that though, so I don't know how that would work. Just thought I'd let you know about that enteric coating thing. It might not be that big of a deal at that low of a dose-it would be similar to taking Depakene instead. good luck!
