I have to ask my doctor if it is okay? I just did it on my own, because pills get stuck when I swallow.

Lady, I think it's fine because my doctor told me to open the capsules and put them into water. This was suggested to help me titrate up to a higher dose without going all the way to 4.5 at one time. He suggested opening a 3.0 and a 1.5 and putting them into 3 oz. of water and drinking only about 3/4 of it. That way I'd get approximately 3.75 mg. I would think that putting the capsule contents into any kind of easily swallowed food would be fine.
