I just started on the 2mg tablet 3x Daily, but even at 2mg, this drug makes me very sleepy. I'm wondering if it can be cut in half. It is scored in the middle.
Can the 2mg Tizanidine Tablet be cut in half ?

I take 2 4mg and it knocked me out. But I've been taking that for a while and it has stopped making me so sleepy. You should always talk to your doctor about this. I would recommend cutting it in half. It may help, or it may not affect you at all. It won't hurt to try it. Just make sure you are in a safe place where , if you were to get sleepy, you wouldn't risk hurting yourself or others.
