Does anyone know if it’s ok to halve a melatonin pill? I have some 5mg but would rather start low. I know some meds you should do that with.
*shouldn’t
I don’t think it’s a problem. I quarter a 1 mg pill, so I take .25 mg (sublingually) each night.
You are not supposed to split the extended release versions. If the tablet is scored, you should be able to split it. Check the bottle for warnings against splitting.
I used to regularly split 3 mg tablets so I could take about 5mg.
Fine to cut a pill, but not a capsule. I have a pill cutter, which makes it very easy.
