Pill-cutters available from most pharmacies make cutting pills much easier and much less bloody, ime.
i really could not face going back to GP again. I have had this prescription since February and been worrying about it since then and debating whether to take it or not. Once I had decided to give it a go I did not want to wait any longer.
I am on the waiting list for CBT and found the combination of anti depressants and CBT worked very well for me a few years ago. I feel now at least I am doing something to try and help myself while I wait for the CBT.
A good plan, imho. The sooner these disorders are treated the better.
