The tablet specifically is, "Brintellix" or, "Trintellix".
Started it about a week ago and got a box of 20 mg's.
Now want to move to a lower dose - but not wanted to spend the cost of another box.
Brintellix is shaped unusually, and not scored - which would have to make one think a ploy on behalf of Lundbeck to prevent people such as myself employing cost efficiency by buying high doses and cutting them as needed - as it commonly done with the likes of Sertraline etc.
So - it's labelled "immediate release" - but then, it is film coated - so, I have no idea how this works.
It's hard to cut evennly but, I can manage.
It's just whether it effects the actual release or absorption of the drug itself - is what I'd be concerned with?
