Bailey Jan 17 Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks for your replies, I was hoping that there was a magical solution to make it easier. I may try coffee since it has a stronger taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sombra1718 55 Posted July 8, 2012 I like to crush the pill and put it in a shot of drinkable yogurt and take it like a shot that I pour toward the back of my throat then chase it with the yogurt. Much faster and I don't have to taste it for more than a few seconds. Also it helps to take a deep breath and hold it when you take the shot so you taste less. 1 meyouus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maegan 51 Posted July 8, 2012 I just bought a pill crusher. For me it is easier to get it down fast. I have my liquid ready, dump the crushed pills to the back of my throat, then chase it down quickly with milk or water...whatever I am drinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bailey Jan 17 Posted July 10, 2012 My next question is can I swallow Ambien or do I also need to crush it? I asked today and was told that I can swallow my birth control pill and stared at the pill ten minutes before I was ready to take on the challenge. But, I was able to do it. I should have brought the Ambien with me today...they are also small in size but oval. Any opinions??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DerbySunflower 28 Posted July 12, 2012 I only take one pill a day and it's about the size of a baby asperin, so I just take it whole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
