A member asked:
I take a coated escitalopram 10mg + 0.50 clonazepam pill. is it ok if i cut it. i would like to try tapering off and see what happens?

Yes, talk with doc: Lexapro/escitalopram can be cut in half without any destruction to the medication tablet itself, for the purpose of tapering off. That said, discuss with your prescribing doctor your plan to taper off. It is always your choice to take medication but important to discuss benefits, risks, alternatives. Good luck!
