However I do "customize" them with a knife and cutting board. I start off with 3/4 of a pill first thing in the morning and then take 1/2 pill the remainder of the intervals for a total of 4 doses per day. I also take 100 mg of Tasmar at 6 hour intervals 3 times a day. It has allowed me to reduce my Sinemet from four full pills per day. Erv
