Ask your Doctor he/she may have something better in mind for you. Don't be doing such things on your own unless ;you are your own MD.

I'm not suggesting you do this without discussing it with your doctor first, but I will say that cutting a pill in half to take a smaller dosage should not be a major concern as long as the tablet is not an extended/time-released formula. The notion that doing such a thing may be harmful without a doctor's supervision or say so, is "not always true" in my experience. In cases like this, taking the full dosage or tablet more than likely presents a greater risk than cutting an IR formula in half. Nevertheless, post #1 is right that there may be other options for you without having to alter your dosage. Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg + Lisinopril 10 mg just happens to be the smallest available dosage for this specific drug combination; so I can see how cutting it in half may be more preferable than trying something new altogether where you risk having a different reaction or side effects.
