I got by with Prozac 2.5mg every day for years and I had to make my own liquid with that. Liquid is a hassle.

I couldn't agree with you more. Along the way, there have been several medicines I couldn't even try because the pills were available only in fairly large strengths. The most recent example of this is Cymbalta. At present, the lowest available strength is 20mg capsules! Twenty milligrams is MUCH too high for me (I tried it), and it's not even made in a tablet that can be cut. I don't like capsules. This is just plain stupidity on the part of the drug manufacturers. They might get more business if the meds were available in low strength tablets and in liquid solutions.
