splittin imitrex.. need advice

Hey.. I use the imitrex tip and it seems to work fine .. however, I dont always get the dosage even and I have tried to split it into 3- 2mg doses but havent had luck. Is there a way to get the med out of the vial and put it into something to where I can get some syringes and draw it up into even doses? Or is there a way to draw it from the vial into just the syringe? Please let me know how you guys do it... thanks..  
Johnny, You seem to be the expert here.. how do you do it

One of the little glass bottles with a screw on cap that a gram of cocaine comes in (ask a friend who does that stuff). Boil the bottle for a couple of minutes so it is sterile. Inject your Imitrex into the bottle. Then you can draw 1/3 or 1/2 dose from the bottle into a syringe. That should do it. Any similar (narrow diameter) bottle should do, but MUST be sterile.

cbolony's suggestion is the best way to go. If you have to split the statdoses here's another idea (I just got back from the hardware store)....
 
Get a 6-32x2 inch screw and a nut. (Don't use #4's... the nut is too small).
Screw the nut almost all the way up onto the screw.
Carefully set the screw down into the statdose vial.
Adjust the nut down so the distance from the nut to the top of the vial is equal to 1/2 of the amount of Imitrex in the vial (assuming you want 1/2 a dose).
When you push the screw down until the nut hits the top of the vial... that is 1/2 a dose.
 
If this works ok for you... you can make a permanent rig using two nuts tightened together (locks them so they can't move).

Expert?.....I dont think so......Any and every thing I know about CH I learned from this website.
 
All I did when I used Imitrex was to peel the lable back so I could see the level and eye the amount I was taking.
