Crushing pills

How do you crush your pills?

I don't crush. I just cut them in half.

I was told to smash it on a cutting board.

Pill crusher. Try a pharmacy?

Some people put them between spoons and do it that way. I have a mortar and pestle so i will be using that.

My hubs bought me a crusher similar to the one pictured above at Walgreens. Just put the pill in and twist the top on and pill crushed! I have to crush mine for 3 months so it was a good investment.

I am 10 days out from the surgery, and don't need to crush pills. I only have to split one of them, but the small ones go right down. I can swallow capsules too. Am I being unwise not to crush pills?

My doc said to crush my pills for 4 weeks. I'm a doctor-listener. I found a pill splitter at Target, but no crusher. On my way to Walgreens!! Thanks!!

This may be a dumb question, but once you crush it, what do you do? Put it in a small container of Water and drink it? Am I the only person who is actually scared of drinking this horrible-tasting stuff? What a baby I am.

I read two tablespoons of Water (or crystal light) and the crushed pill. I know it sounds nasty, but it's a small sacrifice for the huge gift we are getting!!

Gotta be a Better way. I took it and my reflex made me drink fast. I am not a happy girl right now.

I did it this afternoon - crushed, mixed with a couple tablespoons of Vitamin Water Zero lemonade flavor. Definitely not good, but two tablespoons was do-able. I did have a small gulp when I put a bit of water into the cup to get the remnants, and I felt it in my chest. But nothing came back up.

I bought a pill crusher at CVS this afternoon.

Amazon has a whole bunch: http://tinyurl.com/kzlmaev

I just take the whole pill, I found no matter how I do it crush it, half,and etc I still feel like crap after taking my meds. It makes me feel sick for a hour or so after.

I'm going to crush all of them together so I only have to do it once. If all else fails, I'll just cut. Those crushers also make it hard to get all the powder out of them. What an adventure!
