Janiece 64 Posted September 9, 2013 I prefer geltabs or smooth capsules to regular pills. For me, they seem to slide down a bit easier, but it might just be psychological. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drehn88 251 Posted September 9, 2013 I've only used liquid tylenol since being banded. It is absolutely disgusting! Reminds me of that horrible cherry medicine as a kid. Sometimes I just put up with the headache to avoid taking it. Not being able to take all meds/vitamins in pill form has been the hardest part of being banded for me.

skb123 308 Posted September 9, 2013 I was told to take children's liquid and I find it works pretty fast I think it is because it goes into your blood stream fast since it is a liquid. But than I rarely need to take it so no worries here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n2win 123 Posted September 9, 2013 My liquid Tylenol taste like bubblegum and is really not bad at all (cannot stand any medication cherry flavored either). However, the last time i took it, it seemed overly sweet but that's what happens when sugar is removed from our diets... I can deal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NiftyNinjanator 51 Posted September 9, 2013 I just take my pills as normal. Although my hubby can't swallow pills and I get him the juniors chewable tylenol and ibuprofen. He has to take like 4 or 6 or whatever, but the liquid tylenok is so expensive and awhile ago nobody had it during a tylenol brand recall amd we figured out the juniors is fine. Apparently nobody (that I could find) makes generic adult liquid tylenol. He just takes the same mg dose as adult dose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
