Pill Swallowing

[PrettyMe 18]

I have prescriptions i have to take and I find it soooo difficult to swallow the pills...Even my pain meds are in pill form. I feel like the pills get stuck on my throat. I dont want to drink to much Water when i take them so it makes it hard. Any tips on how to make it a little easier??

Get a pill crusher at the drug store. I had to mix pills in yogurt or something else for 8 weeks post op. they taste nasty, but doc insisted, and better than getting pills stuck.

Good idea. I wonder if all pills can be smashed...i know a certain bp pill i take has to be whole because its extended relief pill...but ill check with my surgeon. Thanks for the tip.

I have trouble with pills, too. They go down but I get nauseous almost every time, and I can't crush mine.
