I think I've developed an irrational phobia about taking my dr prescribed medication....

It looks so scary...even worse after going through the pill cutter.

I haven't had my hypertension or cholesterol pill in a week!!

@nomorechubbybutt63I'm not understanding, did you have surgery and are scared to take the pills because you think it might hurt?

[nomorechubbybutt63 66]

Boom! That's it! I am afraid it's gonna hurt or worse damage my fragile incisions...it's hard for me to take a pill or pills with a "sip"...

I take Ramapril for high blood pressure and just break open the capsule and either mix it in a shake or a little yogurt. If you are on capsules maybe you can do the same but check with your GP first. As for as the cholesterol pill you could also speak to your GP to see if you can have it in liquid form for 3 months? If not see if it can be ground down without changing the composition of the medication. I know some can't be ground down but worth asking. Good luck!
