I'm trying to find that out too. I'm told if the pill is scored that you can cut it in half.

Yes you can. Also you can go to their manufacter's site and learn about stopping it as well. I took only half last night and so far,no heart racing which I was experiencing and which is why I want to stop it altogether. I'm waiting on a call from the dr and my brother who is a pharmacology professor.

Was on this previously, my p.c Doctor stopped it, because of side effects, now my cardiologist just started me back on it 3 days ago, called and told him side effects terrible, headache , pounding heart , wakes me up, breathing not normal, I'm hoping it's ok to just stop taking, seems like some doctors just don't listen!!
