You should NOT break these tablets in half. They are meant to be taken/ swallowed whole. A general rule of thumb is, if there is not a scored line on a tablet, it is not meant to be broken or split. If a pill can be halved or quartered, it is usually scored that way. If you are afraid of taking the whole 2mg, then you should speak to your Dr about a smaller dose pill. Or you can try taking the tablet at a time when you dont have to function fully, like a day off or a weekend that you dont have to leave the house so that you can see how this dose effects you.

I take 2 mg. of clonazapam at night, mine are scored I am now in the process of stopping them. I have taken them for 6 yrs. my Dr. told me to decrease .25 for 2 weeks at a time, until I am totally off of them, so far so good a bit anxious but better then I thought I would feel, definitely don't stop taking them with out the advice of your Dr. it is going to take me 16 weeks to stop them, and I will never use a benzo again. I normally don't read the side effects of a drug because knowing me I would get every side effects on the pamphlet, now I wish I had read them because I started to get some of the side effects, now that's why I am being weaned, I feel better now that I have been decreasing them. I am however getting very vivid dreams, not bad dreams just vivid ones. Mitzi57
