My doctor said i can take 10mg not released gel capsule and break it up and it would be fine? i can not swallow pills?

Drug?: You missed mentioning the drug. As a general rule extended release drugs are not to be cut or modified as that will modify their pharmacodynamics, they are intended to last longer. Some of their effects will still be perceived with rather unpredictable duration otherwise.
