I was prescribed hydroxyzine pamoate 25mg as sleep aid. can i open the capsule and split the powder in two portions since i'm sensitive to sedatives?

You can, but: exact dosage and absorption rate may not be as accurate, you can try though, another option is to ask your prescriber to prescribe the oral solution, easier to titrate, good luck
