gizmo Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 My neuro is weaning me off the useless 100mg amitriptyline that the previous neuro put me on for migraine preventative. I'm ready to cut the dose down to 25mg (for a week, then 10mg) but I will need to split the 50 mg pills I have. Can I safely split amitriptyline ? Thanks!

bluelikejazz Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 The little buggers can be hard to split evenly because of the shape. Do you have a pill cutter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cetkat Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 The little buggers can be hard to split evenly because of the shape. Do you have a pill cutter? Point. If they're like mine they're really small too. You could try biting it in half.. I've done that before. Otherwise, there's the not so great option to smoosh it between two spoons and dealing with the powder. A box cutter would also work. I'm out of ideas now..

gizmo Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks everyone! My pills are medium sized round tablets, and I have a really good pill cutter. So that worked well tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
