Zorba also strongly recommends you talk with your doctor and pharmacist before splitting just any pill, as some pills (like BP meds) that are used for regulatory purposes need to adhere to strict dosage amounts.
But, before you spend money on a pill splitter, you may want to give this invention from listener Claude in Cudahy, WI a try!
