I was reading where some of these can be dangerous because they're given for different problems.......such as headaches. Thanks for your help...

I went into the doctor yesterday and he upped my dosage to 500mg twice a day - should i cut the pills in half and take 250 for a week or two before upping to 500? Or should...
