Help. HEADACHE

[coltonwade 27]

I had to take steroids and a muscle relaxer for an attack of sciatica. I learned the art of taking pills without having to taste them. Fill a spoon about halfway with drinkable yogurt, sprinkle on some of the crushed meds, top with yogurt, insert spoon to back of throat, tip and pour. It works most of the time. Pre-op I would dry swallow pills if I didn't have Water (unlike some of my friends who willc hew them up), so I had no idea how to take a crushed pill. The first time I tried to take Tylenol post-op I crushed it and stirred it into some applesauce. My, did I feel stupid that day. :mad:

EWWWW Crushed Pills in Applesauce ! I made that mistake ONCE and about threw up post op ! LMAO That's some Nasty Sh$T ! LMAO

What about trying tylenol rapid release..those work awesome for me but I'm also pre-banded, but I would think it would help you too

It's weird - DH can't stand the taste of the Rapid Blast (that's the name of the adult strength liquid Tylenol), but I don't mind it. I don't crave it, but it doesn't bother me. The chew tabs - no way. And even the adult strength liquid Tylenol PM makes me cringe.

Oh my GOD, the Rapid Blast things are disgusting! I tried one the night before my surgery because I was starting to get a headache, and I nearly threw up. The actual mint flavor wouldn't be too bad if it wasn't combined with that nasty bitter tylenol flavor. It's like they just combined crushed tylenol with some strong mint flavored stuff, compressed it into a chewable, and called it done. ICK!

And if anyone should be tempted, never EVER open an ibuprofen liquigel and squirt it into your mouth. I wanted to rip my lips off and stomp on them.
