I would buy a pill splitter and cut them in half and take the 50 mg at once.

> I started Topamax from a starter pack about three weeks ago with the hopes it will help with Nardil weight gain. With my pdoc's permission, my GP gave me a starter pack, which would titrate me up to 100 mg. Well, I guess we crossed wires, because the plan was to go to 50 mg, which I take as 25 mg twice per day, and hold for a few weeks to judge the effect.
