A member asked:
Could splitting zoloft (sertraline) tablets lead to recurrence of mdd symptoms due to dosage discrepancies? was trying to use leftover pills my dr. had me split.

Not necessarily: It depends if you are splitting the pills and now taking too low of a dose- that could cause a recurrence of depressive symptoms. But in general, it should be ok to split sertraline. The pills have a "score" which means it intends for the patient to cut or split it.
