> I know I'm complaining about something minor with cutting the tablets. It's just that at 60 mg I start to get urinary retention and peripheral edema, so 52.5 is better.
And those are entirely valid reasons for wanting to take 52.5mg, and completely reasonable. And cutting pills in half is a pain in the patootie.
AND EVEN IF NONE OF THAT WAS TRUE, IF IT BOTHERS YOU TO CUT THOSE PILLS, THEN IT BOTHERS YOU! Minor, schminor -- what's this minor stuff?
Cutting the tablets for my cat drives me nuts, too. I cut a bunch all at once, so that I just grab what I need, and that's that. Maybe you could so something like that? Quick bit of math, "How many of these need to be cut to make the right dose?," and then cut a bunch once a month?
Or, grouse about it. Which is OK. And if it bothers you, it's OK to grouse about it. (A smart woman tries to teach me that sort of thing sometimes, so I figured I'd pass some of it back to her...)
