I don't know if it's a phobia or what, but I get all worked up when I have to take pills. Anyone have advice that would make it easier for me?

I am on daily meds and my pills used to get stuck to my throat. My MD said that I should take my pills with food. So I thoroughly chew some food and then pop the pill and swallow. The hardest part was not swallowing the food before I took the pill.

For me, the hard part of taking pills is trying not to taste it. I put the water or whatever I am drinking with them in my mouth first, then tip my head back, drop the pills in and swallow. Then the pills never touch my tongue so I dont gag because I dont taste them!! Hope it helps!!

i can pop a handful of vitamins at one time. put all pills in mouth. sip enough water for a comfortable size swallow. relax and let pills just disappear from your mind. (think about something else) when all is good. swallow. once you get it down. theres nothing to it.

Ask the pharmcist if there is a liquid version, or if the pills can be crushed. If if it's extended release or time release they can't. But there are others you can't crush also.

why do you have troubles taking pills? it is so easy, if you don't like the flavor try pills with enteric cap or put the watter in your mouth before the pill, if you cant swallow it crash your pills and put the powder into some flavored beverage. good luck
