Is it safe to split citalopram?

My doc gave me 10mg pills, he told me to start with cutting the pills in half for a week even if they were uneven sizes. The first pill I cut, I felt really tired and sleepy, when I took the half the next day I felt nervous and jittery, like i've had a cup of coffee. Yesterday I took a new pill, took half and felt tired again, today I took the other half and I felt this anxious energy again.
It seems as if a newly cut pill makes me tired, and the half pill that has been cut for 24 hours gives me this nervous energy.
what could this be? i wont see the doc until next week

It's all startup side effects, cutting them doesn't change how they affect you.
They will ease as your body adjusts.
