If it is the idea of the medicine that you don't like, try practicing swallowing m&ms.

i wasnt able to swallow pills before one reason because i didnt want to take any kind of drugs even if they are legal and the other reason was cuz i could not do so but then i tried to approach it another way wich was through eating it with food. what i did was take a bite of a banana and swallow it whole then i would put the pill in the middle of the banana then would swallow the next part of the banana with the pill. just think that ur eating the banana

Try learning a lot about it. Read the instructions, what is it made of, learn about the condition you have and how the drug works. Get really into the details. Know what exactly you are taking and what will it do in your body (make you get better!).
For me, when I studied human anatomy in detail from books I then had no trouble with looking and touching dead bodies at practice (med school), but if I were just there without the knowledge I probably couldn't do it.
Good luck!

Is it medicine in pill form?
My boyfriend's sister has this problem.
She's cut them in half to minimize the size of it and taken both halves separately.
She has crushed the medicine until it became a powder form and put it into water and drank it.
She has crushed it until it was small pieces. It was easier to swallow she said.
If it's just med in general keep a glass of water handy.

Its all mind over matter. Try waiting until you are so thirsty and when you do. Go for it. It will go down. Some medicine's taste yuky. Mix it with your favorite drink. Soda's or juices. Also with the pill you can crush it and mix it in with your favorite food.
Good luck.

first you are going to have to ask yourself why this is a phobia, if its really extreme then you need professional help.....do you drink water, soft drinks, juices etc...then why doesn't that bother you...you will have to find out but in the meantime you can try disguising them in these drinks or ask your doc for some help... sometimes there are shots that can be substituted.

You need to figure out why you have this phobia, lik have you choked on soemthing in the past and then go from there

best way to get over a phobia is just to do it.
get someone to sneak it into youre dinner if all else fails, or just bite the bullet and chew the **** up.

crush your pills into apple souce or cattage cheese. or just pretend that its a food you like or something. Also ask your doc if they have some thing liquid that you can take.
