Lakegage0,
Actually, the manufacturer DOES warn NOT to break, crush, or chew the tablets. If you need a smaller dose, then you need to get your prescriber to write you a prescription for one. Hope this helps.
It does not say so that the tablet cannot be broken, since its a sleep disorder tab, would recommend that you speak to your doc who prescribed the med, Lunesta is a coated pill, maybe breaking it into half would either release less or more of the med, however please check with the doc/pharmacist, hope this helps?
