Jen in SoCal 189 Posted September 12, 2012 Someone on the forum suggested a spoonful of Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup and I thought that was a really great idea. 1 Cheryl Barfoot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DLCoggin 1,788 Posted September 12, 2012 It is not easy to make crushed meds tasty. Best option that I found was Sugar Free Chocolate pudding. Not terrific but I got them down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uniqueladybug 80 Posted September 13, 2012 gonna try the sf chocolate Syrup. my meds are horrible! I know the feeling... I have been experimenting with different things(I'm still pre-op for another week.) One of mine is horrid!!! Can't find anything that cuts the taste. Let me know if you find something that works. My bad one is effexor. Jessica 1 Cheryl Barfoot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LosingItForMe2011 320 Posted September 13, 2012 My doc doesn't make me crush mine. I can cut them into quarters and take them. Depends on the size of the pill. Try calling your doc and ask if you have to crush it or can you make them small bits instead. 1 Cheryl Barfoot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
