  • I had this up until a year ago, I had a choking epeience when I was little so I used to get freaked out over pills. All you need to do is get your fab drink, the pill, and throw it down right before you go to drink. If you do it right the pill should just shoot right down.

    Drop the pill on a teaspoon of applesauce, pudding or ice cream. Then tuck your chin when you swallow. No way of getting choked b/c the tuck protects your airway. No reason to crush. I'm a swallowing specialist in a hospital and this technique works like a charm

    You need to tell ur dr! They have liquid mess ! Crushing pills can be very dangerous as some pills are time released !!

    Its normal i used to hate taking pills but i just kept biting the bullet and taking them and now i dont really mind taking them maybe try halfing them and putting it right at the back of your tongue with water already in your mouth so you can swallow straight away
