I couldnt swallow pills either but now whta i do is take a gulp of water lean my head back so that waters in the back of my throat and drop the pill in and swallow:] it works for me now:]
I had trouble with this for years until I just got pissed off and didn't care anymore. I think it's a subconscious thing to be honest. The less you care the more it works.
Well u could put it on margarine/Butter and then put some water in your mouth first then try puting the pill into ur mouth with the water in side then try swallowing everything up.
I absolutly hate pills i had to miss halloween becuase i had a MAJOR headache but wouldnt take a advil so i tried taking some vitamen D pills which are very tiny and after taking those for weeks i tried a advil and it just went right down. so i guess what im saying is try with a smaller pill first and work ur way up M&Ms are really big
i usually have some water to wet my mouth first, then put the pill near the back of my throat then take a sip of water and swallow. it doesnt work all the time though =/
I have had the same problem ever since I was a kid. My grandma would put a aspirin or whatever I was taking at the time & put it in a spoon with warm water to melt it & then mix it with honey, I could still taste the pill, but yeah thats wierd, I thought I was the only poerson like that, lol..Im 29 & still cant do it, my gag reflex is too strong or something. i dunno, but good luck!
I feel your pain...part of problem is just being nervous and gagging...I found a solution. It's called Spray'n Swallow. Found on line. Just spray on pills and it makes them very slippery...they slide right down. Worked for me!...
when i was 7 i thought i would choke if i swallowed a pill, and once when i was trying to swallow one, my mom slapped me on the back of the head, then the pill went down, and then i started to choke, i still buy chewable pills, is that pathetic?
I couldnt swallow pills until a few months ago.. I just push my tongue on my lower teeth so it wont move and tilt my head back a lot and then just throw the pill down my throat and it goes right through and then I drink water after because pills are hard on your stomach ;) I hope you managed to swallow pills now since its been almost 3 years that people try to help you :P
I'm 20 and only learnt how to swallow pills last year really. I had the same gagging problem. Now i just push all the spit in my mouth to the front, just up to my lips, pop the pill into that, take a small sip of juice or water. Breath out, this is important because it calms me down so i dont panic and choke, and then swallow but tilt my head back slightly. I have a little trouble with big pills or odd shaped ones, but m&m sized ones are easy for me now.
I can't take pills with water I have to take it with food. I chew up something but don't swallow it, then i toss in the pill as far as i can and swallow it all in one gulp.
This is probably 3 years too late, haha. But I just lean my head back, get a large amount of water in mouth (don't swallow) & drop the pill in, then swallow. Easiest way for me. :)
im 14 and i cant swallow pills, i have a fear of choking. And the last time i tryed to swallow a pill when i swallowed it and it went half way down my throat and back to my mouth, please i need help i have a huge head ache. i down like big things in my mouth. THATS SOUNDS WRONG but seriously i need help please
Hold the pill in the front of your teeth, start to drink and just left the pill out from between your teeth and then it goes with the flow down your throat :)
Alright; the best way to choke down one of them bastards I call a pill is to NOT use water. A good carbonated soda works the best. It covers up the awful, bitter flavor, and with all the fizz, you don't even feel it go down...
my main problem with swallowing pills is that their too bitter and taste awful. once you put them in your mouth im tempted to spit it out. i wish they could taste better.
you say that you chew but the pill gets mashed. what i do is chew food then when your ready to swallow the food then put the pill in your mouth and then swallow
I Have the exact same problem! I Cannot swallow pills for some reason & Im only 14! :[ I Sometimes just forget & swallow it.. In that case try eating bread .. then put your pill in the bread .. & swallow it with A Gulp of water. Hope it helps :] Good luck.
Well, it's two years later and I don't know if you've yet mastered this skill, BUT! I had the same problem! I'd just end up chewing pills and you know how nasty that is.
SO! The stepping stone that worked for me was taking a small bite of food and chewing it to the point I would RIGHT BEFORE I'd swallow it. Before swallowing the food, I stuck the pill in my mouth aaaaaaaaand GONE! Try it a few times and later graduate to liquids and even--dare I say--dry swallowing!
Usually I put it under my toungue (it won't budge. Trust me.) then take a huuuuge drink of water. The liquid will move the pill out from under your toungue in the process and most likely drag the pill down your throat with it. :3
its psychological at this point--the more you think about it, the more you reflexively gag as soon as you feel the pill in the back of your throat/touching the top of your esophagus
I just grind the pills to itty, bitty, tiny, bits and pieces. Then I just put all in a glass of water and drink the water as though all the glass had was water in it.
pour water in your mouth and close the back of your throat. keep your head up. its gunna be like a water pool in your mouth. and then put the pill in the pool and just swallow. you wont even feel the pill unless its a huge one.
Well... That's about the only thing I can swallow without chewing. Try putting in the back of you mouth and drink orange juice WITH pulp and let the pill slide down with it. I fortunately never had a problem with pills but both my sisters do. last resort-- ask for a liquid version of any really needed meds:-}
some people have small windpipes and those horse/elephant pills are no joke!!
I too had difficulty swallowing tablets. They get stuck in my throat due to my active gagging reflexes. Finally, found this advise in a forum :"I have a bite of banana and chew it up BUT I don't swallow it until I've added the pill to my mouthful of banana and then I swallow it all together and I don't even notice the pill. (I also do this with chewing other food but banana works very well.)" It really saved my life.
Try not to be fearful of the pill thats a BIG part of it and you need to relax. Some times wait till your thirsty is good. I look to take water first so the pill doesn't get stuck. Water pop the pill even leaning you head forward so the little air in the pill makes it float to the back of your mouth and then swallow then drink more water even if it didn't go down the first time. Drinking water with the pill in mouth may also work. The first time i tryed to swallow pills i paniced and warfed.
is it bad to open up liquid capsules and just pouring the liquid onto a spoon and take it take way? these diet pills taste like shit but thats what ive been doing so far.
..., you can always try smashing those bitchy pills and take the tiny pieces with water, it will be more easy though I wouldn't stand the bitter taste of them. Good luck anyways!
i think you automatically pull it out with your tongue everytime you feel something that does not belong there or simply feels weird. I used to have those problems till i started visualizing my own throat opening and letting everything pass... my mom used to tell me to imagine it was a little boat when i was a kid, i'm not sure if anything of this can help... -continues-
I have the same problem I can only get them down somtimes what I do is fill my mouth with water put the pill in leave it their for awhile then I swallow at the moment I have to take pill everyday and inside the pill is really awful liquid i prefer chewing or liquid medince though this pill I cant chew and it doesent desolve
when i was 2 i was diagnosed with Nephrotic syndrome, a kidney disease were the filter of your kidney is larger than normal. so for 7 years i have had to down prednisone (a steroid used to help fix your insides? i think thats what it does) and they are big and nasty!so i got used to sticking it in my mouth but not on the Tounge, then gulping water and then dropping the pill on the water and gulping. then i would give myself candy as a treat. hope it helps
OMG u just want to eat the mnms ... i couldnt swallow pills and was recently shoved on sleeping ones so heres what i do stand up do the tounge thing and dont use water use extrememly fizzy lemonade take a drink swallow tht but not the pill thn take another drink tip your head really far back and swallow burt u need to stand up.. dunno y it just works tht way....
taking pills is a normal function to me at this point it barely evn phases me lol im so used to it XD but yea <<" ADHD is a bitch ESPECIALLY wen u dnt kno u have it wen u finally figure out wats "wrong with you its such a miracle... but anywho ill probably have to remember to demonstrate my pill taking prowess in a vid response to this soon wen i remember to next time i have to take my pills lol
another thing i do is ill take a comfortable amount of water in my mouth wen i have the pill sitting on my tongue and i wait a bit till my throat tells my brain its ready lol my head will make tinny kicks like ill be like one two three *swallow* lol like time it so ur body knos its ready for it lol
ive been taking pills since second grade (in in 10th grade now) lolz anyways ive been taking pills for my ADHD since i was a little kid ive been on a few diff medications over the years and a few years ago i was on a pill that i felt was huge at the time and it was i apparently wasnt the only person *not jst kids thought this* to think that so i had to take it with icecream really early in the morning lol and yea that cn be one way
First, take a big gulp of water (but not totally huge) then pop the pill in your mouth, and before it even has time to touch your tongue or the roof of you mouth, swallow.
TAKE A BIG GULP OF WATAH, then let the pill swim in that little sac of water. after that when your gums or roof of ur mouth or toung dont feel it anymore SWALLOW!!!=D i just swalled my first pill yesterday =DD
i am a pill swallowing expert, but, the HUGE gulp of water always worked for me. i always thought of the pill as 'one' with the water and swallowed as if it were part of the water. i guess you just have to force yourself to belive that.
but if that dun work, my friend sucks as well, and what she does to get around it is grind the pill and put the powder in a glass of very sweet apple juice and... BOTTOMS UP.
If u can swallow gummi bears u can pretty much swallow pills, I'd suggest practice with gummi bears cause pills are usually coated with that slippery casing, as for the other kind just try to swallow it like something else. my biggest problem was that I didnt like them going down sideways, but unless you got a MONsTER pill it doesnt matter if it goes down vertically or horizontally. I swallow them first and then take a gulp of water to ease them down.
I personally just stuff it in mac and cheese then mix it up so i dont know what one the pill is in, then i just eat the mac and cheese. i have a tendency to swallow it without chewing a lot.
drink something with the pill in itand do something else. you'll get so annoyed with the water that you'll just swallow it. worked for me... i have to take a pill EVERY day
Try taking a HUGE spoonfull of pudding or peaanut butter, applesauce. Put it in a tiny marshmellow even. Or wrap it up in marshmellow fluff ect and swallow it then. I have an issue with swallowing syrup medicine,My throat just wont keep it down.
Ok i cant swallow pills either. I got the flu and i so far have eaten 3 of the pills. Yes 3!
They are disgusting and so strong in taste. The only way i can do it is by breaking my pill open and letting the medicine out onto a spoon full of shirbert icecream and than swallow. I have to run and eat sugar and drink strong liquids to take the taste out
i cant swallow pills either. i cant even swallow pills the size of claritin. and those are TINY. and this was a bad trait to have especially since i used to be a raver, so as you can imagine there was large amounts of XTC being consumed. so i had to chew em. i have to chew my tylenol, claritin, midol, EVRYTHING. its lame. i know. but im happy to know im not the only one. :D
I had the exact same problem actually. Basically it took me about a month to figure out how to do it, but after that I did it no problem, so don't give up.
Fill your mouth with water till it's about to bust then slip the pill(s) in through you lips, mkae shure they are BEARLY open. The Your body should make you swallow it, but make shure you slip the pill in through your CLOSED lips. Or the water will fall out.
Im terrible at swallowing pills myself, so here's what I do: Take a mouth full of water, hold your head back (don't swallow the water yet), drop the pill in, then close your lips and swallow quickly as you bring your head back down. It works well, most of the time. =)
im sick and my tonsils have this infection. the doc gave me antibiotics but id prefer liquid antibiotics but i dont know if they make up liquid. im gona try to put the pill in a marshmallow then like gurgle the marshmallow around my mouth and try to swallow the marshmallow. at least i won't have the taste of the pill at the end of my tongue, otherwise i'll go straight to *vomit* -_-
yea i cant swallow pills eaither. only small ones like a little bit smaller that advil. i get a gulp of water and just swallow it even if it hurts and pretend the pill is not in the water. but it doesnt work with big pills
well, I do it by taking a small gulp of water before the pills, then put in the pills and swallow it 2gether so the pills don't dissolve in your mouth and have a bitter taste. Just a suggestion ^_^
I never could swallow pills until one day when I was 18 and I was in a hurry to finish my supper and was eating some peas and accidentally swallowed one whole. And from that moment I knew how to do it. I don't know if it's something you can really teach somebody. You just kind of have to accidentally swallow something whole once and then you learn it from experience.
Alright, so a minute ago I had never swallowed a pill. I came here for help, and I was able to do it! Just wanted to share my joy with you all! (the trick was swallowing it with my new bff: applesauce) Thanks!
you have to jerk your head back really hard with the pill and the water in it and it all like moves to back of your throat really fast and your body's natural reaction is to swallow. thats how i learned. now i can just put them in my mouth and not even use water and i can just swallow. sorry you are having so many problems!! he video was hilarious though!!
I cant swallow them either. My doctor told me, and gave me a paper. They said to put your head all the way forward like until your chin touches your chest and its supposed to make it easy to swallow. I guess put the pill and water in your mouth first.
I think I might be able to help you here- that is of course if you still need help!
I always had trouble swallowing pills. Only recently I learned how to do it. You take a small bit of bread, chew it up to the point where you're about to swallow it. Right before you do, put the pill in the chewed up food (kinda gross but it works for me!), and then swallow it all down. No water required! Hope that helps :)
Oh my goodness! I've got the same water bottle! Did you get it for free too?
Anyway I'm guessing that you've learned by now because this video was posted almost a year ago BUT my tech is to kind of suck the pill down then build up some saliva and use that to get the pill down. Water is not required but it helps if the pills are sticky.
I never thought I could swallow pills until I accidently swallowed a grape, whole.
actualy never learned but I got good at putting them in almond joys and eating that and soetimes I'm really badass and just bit down on the pill and chew it and deal with the taste
I've always chopped pills up in yogurt or applesauce, but I recently got a really expensive medication that I'm not allowed to chew, so I HAVE to learn to swallow them now. Thank *choose a religious leader* for youtube! I'm about to try the chewed bread technique!
hey dumbass alot of people can't take pills and it has to do with pychological issues of the brain that innable them to take it. but u wouldn't know that dumbass!
The way that I swallow pills is that I take the pill and put it between my top front teeth and my bottom front teeth. Then I take a drink of water and I let the pill go and swallow.
I only learned how to swallow pills when I was 15. After about a year of my method, I found I could swallow pills the way everyone else does. Give this a shot: Find a food you don't chew (for me it's applesauce because I can't stand the texture) and then put the pill in the middle of a big-ish bite of the food and swallow.
Put the pills in on your tounge - don't think they are there (don't lick and taste 'em etc). Drink some water and swallow the water like you normally would. Done.
I get a piece of turkey, wrap the pill in it, make a little whole by the pill, put the whole where it's facing down the throat, try to swallow the turkey, and the pill will go right down. I've tried it, with these big fucking horse pills I gotta take. Or get a huge spoon of pudding with the pill in the middle and walla!
Simple I learned by way of a banana.... yes a banana... you put a piece of banana over the pill and just swallow it... the banana being mushi/soft goes down easily! ^_^~!
I can't swallow pills and drink water at the same time. I have to drink teh water AFTER I swalled "le' pill"!
My personal strategy, that took years to perfect, is to put it in the back of you mouth and then like, curl your tongue up to the roof of your mouth so it can't slip and slide to the front or the sides...and then just swallow 'til it's gone! ^_^
i know its hard to swallow pills because i have to take pills for my shingles and i just put it deep down near my tonsils take a big gulp of water and and before i know it its down my throat.i jus try not to think about the pill and i just think i'm jus drinking water
ooh im bad too and i have to take quite a few! capsules are easier - maybe practice with vitamins in capsule shapes. i can't take round pills without breaking them into like quarters at least. with capsules, try putting it in the middle of your tongue and making a U shape, and then take some water, and swallow trying to keep the tongue in a U, might help. Wow its so hard to actually *explain* it!
just swallaw as the first one but instead use file i think its called, drink that,

take a big jug with water 1.5 liters and
the pills in your other hand and put pills in your then be quick to swallow all down in
one go. don´t worry you have plenty with water
in the jug, try to gurgle the pill down if it´s stuck. best recipe from allways have
a can with soda like coke ect. then swallow
until the pills loosen from your tounge. then
wash it down rest of the soda or just demand
your doktor to help you to get medication that
is in capsulls. easier to swallow. bf

I would put the pill in some Jello. It is very slippery so it should go right down.

..., you can always try smashing those bitchy pills and take the tiny pieces with water, it will be more easy though I wouldn't stand the bitter taste of them. Good luck anyways!

i think you automatically pull it out with your tongue everytime you feel something that does not belong there or simply feels weird. I used to have those problems till i started visualizing my own throat opening and letting everything pass... my mom used to tell me to imagine it was a little boat when i was a kid, i'm not sure if anything of this can help... -continues-

I always have the water in my mouth first, then the pill (or vitamins, in my case).

when i was 2 i was diagnosed with Nephrotic syndrome, a kidney disease were the filter of your kidney is larger than normal. so for 7 years i have had to down prednisone (a steroid used to help fix your insides? i think thats what it does) and they are big and nasty!so i got used to sticking it in my mouth but not on the Tounge, then gulping water and then dropping the pill on the water and gulping. then i would give myself candy as a treat. hope it helps

First, take a big gulp of water (but not totally huge) then pop the pill in your mouth, and before it even has time to touch your tongue or the roof of you mouth, swallow.
Shadowedsunbeam 3 years ago
TAKE A BIG GULP OF WATAH, then let the pill swim in that little sac of water. after that when your gums or roof of ur mouth or toung dont feel it anymore SWALLOW!!!=D i just swalled my first pill yesterday =DD

i am a pill swallowing expert, but, the HUGE gulp of water always worked for me. i always thought of the pill as 'one' with the water and swallowed as if it were part of the water. i guess you just have to force yourself to belive that.
but if that dun work, my friend sucks as well, and what she does to get around it is grind the pill and put the powder in a glass of very sweet apple juice and... BOTTOMS UP.
hope that works!

If u can swallow gummi bears u can pretty much swallow pills, I'd suggest practice with gummi bears cause pills are usually coated with that slippery casing, as for the other kind just try to swallow it like something else. my biggest problem was that I didnt like them going down sideways, but unless you got a MONsTER pill it doesnt matter if it goes down vertically or horizontally. I swallow them first and then take a gulp of water to ease them down.
p.s. it takes you a long time to chew m&m's.

I personally just stuff it in mac and cheese then mix it up so i dont know what one the pill is in, then i just eat the mac and cheese. i have a tendency to swallow it without chewing a lot.

Try taking a HUGE spoonfull of pudding or peaanut butter, applesauce. Put it in a tiny marshmellow even. Or wrap it up in marshmellow fluff ect and swallow it then. I have an issue with swallowing syrup medicine,My throat just wont keep it down.

Ok i cant swallow pills either. I got the flu and i so far have eaten 3 of the pills. Yes 3!
They are disgusting and so strong in taste. The only way i can do it is by breaking my pill open and letting the medicine out onto a spoon full of shirbert icecream and than swallow. I have to run and eat sugar and drink strong liquids to take the taste out

Fill your mouth with water till it's about to bust then slip the pill(s) in through you lips, mkae shure they are BEARLY open. The Your body should make you swallow it, but make shure you slip the pill in through your CLOSED lips. Or the water will fall out.

Im terrible at swallowing pills myself, so here's what I do: Take a mouth full of water, hold your head back (don't swallow the water yet), drop the pill in, then close your lips and swallow quickly as you bring your head back down. It works well, most of the time. =)

yea i cant swallow pills eaither. only small ones like a little bit smaller that advil. i get a gulp of water and just swallow it even if it hurts and pretend the pill is not in the water. but it doesnt work with big pills
mauricio951 4 years ago
well, I do it by taking a small gulp of water before the pills, then put in the pills and swallow it 2gether so the pills don't dissolve in your mouth and have a bitter taste. Just a suggestion ^_^

I never could swallow pills until one day when I was 18 and I was in a hurry to finish my supper and was eating some peas and accidentally swallowed one whole. And from that moment I knew how to do it. I don't know if it's something you can really teach somebody. You just kind of have to accidentally swallow something whole once and then you learn it from experience.

you have to jerk your head back really hard with the pill and the water in it and it all like moves to back of your throat really fast and your body's natural reaction is to swallow. thats how i learned. now i can just put them in my mouth and not even use water and i can just swallow. sorry you are having so many problems!! he video was hilarious though!!

I cant swallow them either. My doctor told me, and gave me a paper. They said to put your head all the way forward like until your chin touches your chest and its supposed to make it easy to swallow. I guess put the pill and water in your mouth first.

I think I might be able to help you here- that is of course if you still need help!
I always had trouble swallowing pills. Only recently I learned how to do it. You take a small bit of bread, chew it up to the point where you're about to swallow it. Right before you do, put the pill in the chewed up food (kinda gross but it works for me!), and then swallow it all down. No water required! Hope that helps :)

Oh my goodness! I've got the same water bottle! Did you get it for free too?
Anyway I'm guessing that you've learned by now because this video was posted almost a year ago BUT my tech is to kind of suck the pill down then build up some saliva and use that to get the pill down. Water is not required but it helps if the pills are sticky.
I never thought I could swallow pills until I accidently swallowed a grape, whole.

The way that I swallow pills is that I take the pill and put it between my top front teeth and my bottom front teeth. Then I take a drink of water and I let the pill go and swallow.
I hope this helps.

I only learned how to swallow pills when I was 15. After about a year of my method, I found I could swallow pills the way everyone else does. Give this a shot: Find a food you don't chew (for me it's applesauce because I can't stand the texture) and then put the pill in the middle of a big-ish bite of the food and swallow.

Put the pills in on your tounge - don't think they are there (don't lick and taste 'em etc). Drink some water and swallow the water like you normally would. Done.
You probably got this over w/ - this can't hurt.

I get a piece of turkey, wrap the pill in it, make a little whole by the pill, put the whole where it's facing down the throat, try to swallow the turkey, and the pill will go right down. I've tried it, with these big fucking horse pills I gotta take. Or get a huge spoon of pudding with the pill in the middle and walla!

I can't swallow pills and drink water at the same time. I have to drink teh water AFTER I swalled "le' pill"!
My personal strategy, that took years to perfect, is to put it in the back of you mouth and then like, curl your tongue up to the roof of your mouth so it can't slip and slide to the front or the sides...and then just swallow 'til it's gone! ^_^

ooh im bad too and i have to take quite a few! capsules are easier - maybe practice with vitamins in capsule shapes. i can't take round pills without breaking them into like quarters at least. with capsules, try putting it in the middle of your tongue and making a U shape, and then take some water, and swallow trying to keep the tongue in a U, might help. Wow its so hard to actually *explain* it!
