According to http://www.wellbutrin-xl.com:
"Swallow tablets whole. Do not chew, cut, or crush tablets. The WELLBUTRIN XL tablet is covered by a shell that slowly releases the medicine in your body. You may notice something in your stool that looks like a tablet. This is the empty shell passing from your body."
If the release mechanism involves the coating, then I guess splitting is out of the question. I have some Zyban that doesn't expire till next year... I'll talk to him about using that to titrate up.
But just because Wellbutrin SR can be cut I don't want to assume the same for Zyban... Viridis, do you happen to know if this is okay? Suppose I'll just call 'em up to find out if not.
