the dr gave me a script for 40 mgs which i didnt notice until my wife looked closer at the bottle. i was sick to my stomach for almost a week and could barely stay awake. since paxil isnt scored i didnt know if that would help or not.
Can 40 mg paxil be broken in half since regular dosage is only supposed to be 20mg? 40 is too much?

Did you check with the pharmacy see if it's their mistake? They really shouldn't be cut because they are coated.
