I'm trying to save money on my medications, so what I did is...
I cut all my pills in half, then I take two of those "halves" for each dosage. I figure this will save me a few hundred a month.

2. Your math is wrong....
If you take two halves, that's equivalent to ONE pill.

All you did was chop your pills in two.

I am NOT a math major.

5. Yes, but since I cut them in half, I reduce the dosage, and then essentially double the "half"

by taking 2 at once. Therefore, my cost is reduced.
