Yes, but you'd only be getting half of the dose.
Can Paxil be crushed and ingested?
Yes, it can be crushed and ingested. I do this to decrease my dose. Now, another question is: Does it affect the efficacy of Paxil? I don't know. I ran into the problem of splitting, then quartering my Paxil. I wanted to split it further, and crushing it was the only immediately obvious solution.

Is 20mg of Paxil a low dose?
It's a dose that is mostly used to start. 10mg is available to use but each doc to his own. PAxil can also start at 10mg to investigate the tolerance level and increased if no change after a few weeks. It is a rule of thumb not to add more then 40mg. 50mg in extreme cases but not recommend. It also depends on what you are being medicated for, there are a few uses for this drug.
