Need Suggestions/Advice

[lmnlineman 0]

There are so many pills and supplements that I have to take daily and the doc. said that they have to be crushed. Every morning I gag them down, but it is MISERABLE! Have any of you found a creative way to take your meds? Choking down gobs of nasty tasting, chalky stuff in the morning is not cool!

That is not fun. It's a shame your doctor or pharmacy can't help you. When I had my surgery, I was taking a blood pressure pill that was too big. My doctor found something that was similiar and it was tiny. My Vitamins and other supplements that I take are either tiny or chewable. If you've talked to them and there is no other way, I'm sorry. I don't have any creavite suggestions, but I'm sure somebody will. Good luck to you!!! Becky

My husband suggested putting the crushed pills into my Protein Drink in the blender. Oh, was I ever hesitant...just sounded nasty, but I tried it and it wasn't bad at all. I think I'll continue to do this until I can get the pills in chewable form (the ones that come in chewable form, anyway.) So, that's one problem solved. Now if I can just get rid of the exhaustion. Everything in time, I guess. I'm taking my 10 year old daughter to a concert this Friday, so I better get it together soon.:party:

I mix pills with either applesauce or yogurt and you can hardly taste them.

I sprinkle my ADHD med on some applesauce, goes down nice and easy! I buy the little individual cups and I just recover it, usually lasts about a week.

I got my lapband on May 15th and have the same problem that you have. Uck. I had read some other posts that said to just take the pills, if they are not hugh. My surgeon's nurse said to crush everything. I am taking most of mine whole and splitting the really big ones. So far no problem. They go down with a drink of Water for each pill. Hopefully I will be off some of them by the time I get a fill. My pcp was not much help. He went down the list and said yeah try crushing them and advised me to check with the pharmacist. I know extended and long release should not be crushed. I am on a ton of pills and will be so glad to get rid of most of them. Good luck to you.
