Supposed to be taking a 5mg dose?

Posted , 3 users are following.

I was recently switched to 5mg Lexapro after being on Zoloft for almost two months. I saw that the pill itself only came in 10mg and didn't have a way to easily split it. Can these pills be cut with one of those tablet cutters or do I need to find another way of splitting the pill in half?

    I just used a knife to cut mine straight down the middle

    Hi, they do come in 5mg as I've recently stopped taking them - I used a standard pill cutter to split mine when I was tapering off them.  Speak to your GP for the 5mg.
