dividing dosages of capsule?

Posted by Bob on June 12, 2002, at 15:14:48

I am taking Neurontin 100mg t.i.d. I am VERY hypersensitive to some meds, and this is one of them. I believe that I can derive some benefit from continuing Neurontin, but I want to decrease the dose. The problem arises with the necessity of dosing 3x/day due to the short half-life. Does anyone have experience with what to do when you want to divide or split a single capsule dose? I've thought about taking the capsules apart and using a razor blade to divide the powder, and then putting it back in. The problems with this would seem to be accuracy (how does one properly measure out the dose?), and having to throw away the remaining portions, since I don't have extra capsules.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
