In reply to cutting 2.5 zyprexa pills... who do I listen to???, posted by Doo on April 17, 2001, at 16:32:49
It's no problem cutting Zyprexa in half. I've done it many times. It's tricky to cut though, so getting exact size pieces is hard. No big deal if the halves aren't exactly accurate. I think though it begins to oxidize and breakdown when it is exposed to air. So if that is true then just cut one at a time as needed instead of a bunch all at once.
John> Today and yesterday I felt kind of good. Three days ago, I stopped taking the 2.5 zyprexa pills because I felt too much like a zombie. Now, the question I have in my mind is this one: does the relief I feel today and felt yesterday come from the zyprexa effect? Is it long-lasting enough?
