There is not likely a physical reason that you are having trouble swallowing these pills, unless you are a young child or elderly person.
It's more than likely that you have a mental resistance to taking them. I think if you figure out what that resistance is then you will, again, go back to having no trouble.
I wouldn't recommend you take pills with anything other than water. I personally prefer to drink some water to provide a landing spot for the pill, then with a full glass of water in hand, toss the pills into your mouth and drink the water, don't allow the pills to move to the outside of the mouth, just, don't think about it and swallow them down.
I have a resistance to pills because of the pills I had to take. They caused heartburn and over time I became very resistant to any pills.....however I can still take them, I just prefer not to.
I was associating all pills with this feeling of heart burn (and if you've ever suffered ongoing heart burn you'll know, that is less than pleasant.
Try putting it in a spoonful of pudding or applesauce anything that will slide down easy thats
what I do.
I put them under my toung towards my front teath. Then take a big gulp of water. I usually don't notice. I can even take 5 or 6 at a time.
In retirement homes they crush up the pills and mix them will applesauce or pudding. Or you could try putting it in a piece of food and eat it along with the food. You know like jam it in an oreo
Smash it and mix it with something like applesauce.
crush em up and snort them.
Try on a spoon of smoothie or a small spoon of soft ice-cream
I take a lot of supplements and just hate taking a lot of them..they are big and just don't go down well ,so I discovered using tomato juice (if you like it or V8) it is thicker and you don't notice the pills in your mouth...
Get yourself a pill crusher, you can find it in walmart or any other store in the pharmacy department, and if it has a bad taste to it mix it with some applesauce it want stop the effect.
