All your concerns were mine as well. Again I understand what you are saying, but there was considerable due diligence put into this before going forward. FYI I did not randomly select any overseas pharmacy via a google search and blindly give them my credit card info.
I paid considerable sums of money to two compounding pharmacies for a unique compounded drug that worked beautifully when it was compounded properly, but when it wasn't, it ruined my life and took my hearing, so I am informed differently than you are regarding the safety and efficacy of compounded drugs provided by a compounding pharmacy.
Please read the following report from the FDA:

The reason the tablet is split or scored and both halves put in the distilled water is to assist dissolving. I did not bother splitting the pill, but it would not be an issue, I used the entire pill. Also these pills are not slow release. I followed instructions provided by a chemist using precise equipment.

You have absolutely no idea what you are buying. It is entirely possible that it is not the drug you think it is, however reputable the website you bought from looks and however genuine all the packaging looks. The ingredients could be toxic or dangerous - that is common in these counterfeit and contaminated prescription drugs. As you have no idea what you are actually taking, they could cause you further harm or interact with other medications or supplements.
Its up to you of course what you decide to put into your own body but this is an incredibly risky and illegal activity, you may well just be throwing your money away and you are endangering your own health. Under the circumstances, is it actually worth that level of risk?
