In reply to + another question about prozac dose, posted by Slinky on February 10, 2004, at 22:40:41
> I'm tired of splitting my 20mg capsules (I'm taking 10mg a day)- the powder spills everywhere so I'm taking 20 mg every two days...because of it's long half life I assume it's ok to do ?
One alternative you could try: I read somewhere (in the context of splitting doses to withdraw from Prozac) that you can do this by dissolving the contents of the capsule in a drink (say a glass of orange juice) and drinking half of it each day. It was suggested that the remaining half should be kept in the fridge. (I haven't tried it myself or confirmed that this won't have an effect on the active chemical, nor whether refridgeration is necessary - seems unlikely to make any reaction faster, though.)
