You can get a pill cutter for a couple of dollars at walmart for future use. Can use it to cut half pills as well. Just don't cut time released or open capsules . Risperdal can be cut.

Tonya; Yes this tablet is not timed release so it would be fine to cut it into 4 pieces as close to it as you can but also just cut one tablet at a time. It is easier if you cut it in the middle first, Then cut the 2 halves into 2 as close as you can.And you well be fine this well get you by until you can get your prescription filled.Good luck to you
