I do trust him. However, he's an osteopath, not a pdoc. I was double checking as this was the first time I've heard of Prestiq. Plus, I had severe withdrawal from Effexor in the past...I don't want to risk it.
I just took the whole pill this a short while ago.
Phillipa, the site and everything I read said that you should not split these pills. I've read several stories about people that did and the med hit them very fast. There is some special coating on the tablet.
On a side note, I could not see my original post from my tablet or computer (even after reloading pages, etc.). I only found your responses by searching by my username. When I click on the Medications forum tab, the newest post is from 12/15 from another user about Abilify. Any ideas about that?
Thank you!
