Really? You bite it in half? Did you know that cutting/splitting/breaking an XR tab makes the medication release into your bloodstream all at once? So that means your body treats the 2nd dose more like immediate release. It won't last as long if you do that. Maybe you should ask your doc for 1mg tabs. Take 2 in the AM and 1 in the PM. Just a suggestion. Have you told him that you do this? You might want to bring this to his attention and then tell him you're concerned that by breaking the tabs, you aren't getting the treatment intended (just to make the doctor feel like you aren't telling him how to do his job).
