Yes, exactly I saw that and was going to add to it, it is definitely not a good idea to split extended release formats. Just be prescribed the smallest dose that any extended release medication comes in.
And one would be started on a small dose anyhow. Most all psychoactive substances are not started at a high level for a very good reason that the body will heave. Its slow climbing.
Its like some of the pill granule splitting of Cymbalta that I have heard about -- again, caution there because biting a pellet can give an instant rush.
