Doctor: I’m prescribing you the 20mg tabs, but I’d like you to take 10mg for the first week. You can just cut the pills in half.

Pharmacist: Your prescription plan won’t pay for this medication in smaller than 40mg doses, so you’ll need to cut the pills in half to get a 20mg dose.

Perhaps I’m just paranoid, but it really seems like someone out there screwing around with me.

On the bright side, this medication only cost $4, and a pill cutter cost $4.50. So all in all it’s still $102 dollars cheaper than the last medicine.
