Hi Shequinn,
A good pill cutter should be able to cut the pills in to quarters. There are a lot of people who take 7.5 mgs with very good results.
I've discussed lex withdrawl with my pdoc who said it can happen if you stop taking it suddenly. It's important to taper off of it slowly to give your body time to adjust to a lower dose.
On the other hand, lex stays in your system for quite a while. (I'm not sure how long.) So if your husband takes a pill once or twice a week he probably won't suffer from withdrawl.
But I would just go buy a good pill cutter. Good luck to both of you!
