Reducing medication.

[Lynne75]

Hi everyone I currently take 10 mg of Propanolol twice a day I'm hoping to eventually stop all meds.can I cut my 10mg tablet in half for my morning dosage,I find after taking it I just feel drugged up at such a little dosage X

Hello

I have cut tablets in half before and there is no reason why you can't but if you are doing this with your Doctors guidelines which would be the best idea they maybe able to give you a 5mg instead of a 10 mg which would be easier

Take Care x

Hi my doctor has always said if I need to reduce its fine aslong as I don't go over my recommended dosage,I would rather keep my prescription the same otherwise they'll cut my tablets and I might just need them,I've tried to wean myself off once and I struggled so had to go back up.x

Well I would cut them inhalf then I have done that with meds before 

I think you can buy a pill cutter from the chemist or you used to be able to x
