Hi Deneb,
You should ask your pharmacist about whether you can split the pills. Some you can, some you can't, and some can only be split a certain amount of time before taking the second half.
In an above post, you mentioned wondering why it was that your pdoc only gave you enough for two weeks. Obviously I'm not in a position to know his motivation, but I wanted to let you know it may not "mean" anything at all; I know with my pdoc it is standard procedure to only prescribe enough of a new medication to last until the next appointment for the reason that it may not work out, and then more medication would have been bought (and would have to be disposed of) for nothing.
I hope this medication works out for you; I know it can be unnerving to start on a new one.
