ive always had a problem with swallowing pills. If I have to take more than one, I have to do it one at a time. Try putting a little bit of water or whatever liquid ur using in your mouth, and then drop the pill in. then just shut your mouth and swallow normally. Cuz I tend to gag when a pill touches my tongue. I don't know why. But it helps it go down. :)

I swallow pills, I put mine on my tongue and just swallow it with grape juice or something. I don't have trouble because I started to swallow pills at an early age.

I never had a problem swallowing pills.... Actually, come to think of it, I never had a problem eating anything. Imagine you're eating rice. It's what I do and it seems to work

I try to drop my pills as far into my mouth as it goes, then drink it down with water.

I have the same problem too with larger pills and capsules (they are scary!)
I have just overcome small pills recently. I use warm water to help me with the small pills but mannnn I still have a hard time with larger pills and capsules especially. |

^ I can't swallow any pills at all, which is really depressing.
My doctor told me to "practise" swallowing Tictacs, but I couldn't manage it and gave up in the end.

My mom always gives me warm water when I take pills.
First, I take a few sips. Then I hold some water in my mouth, look towards the ceiling, drop the pill in my mouth and swallow. I try to swallow quickly, I hate it when it touches my tongue. I'm afraid it might not work if it does for some reason. |

It took me forever to swallow pills.
My mom or dad used to chop them up into smaller pieces for me. Now I just put them on the back of my tongue, drink water and swallow. But then the it feels like I'm going to throw up for the rest of the day. |

I usually put it in the back of my mouth and then drink some water. As I'm swallowing the water, I also swallow the pill.

Just put the pill on your tongue and take a giant swig of water? They really need to make gummy pills or something, lol.

^ gummy pills... that would be nice.
Somehow I just can't wash pills down even with lots of water... I just refuse to swallow, not on purpose either. |

it took me awhile to be able to swallow them. now it's kinda easy i guess i just can't swallow anything too big or more than one at a time.
p.s. i practiced with altoids at first. |
