No, but there are different ways you can go about this. You can cut the 1mg tabs into half, or you can alternate doses, 1mg 1 day and 2mgs the next. Even better you can go about it even more slowly (which is often the best method) by adding in another day at 2mgs to begin with.
I'm sure I've forgotten one - I expect someone will remind me!

Just to add to polkadotcom's answer - don't cut coated tablets! That is the red and brown enteric coated ones in our case but if you are on plain white tablets that isn't a problem. Chemists sell pill cutters which make it a bit easier since they are a bit small and fiddly.
I asked nicely and the pharmacist cuts pills for me...its worth a try - they can only say no
