  • this didn't work for me, but after that, what i did was I put the pill in my mouth, sipped some water but not too much so my mouth was full, tilted my head up and shook my head to get the pill somewhat inside the water where i couln't feel it and not lying near my throat choking me, then i gulped that shit down

  • What about capsules?? Those things are fricken huge Lol.

  • im triyng with little peices of apple i sitll cnt bloody do it :(

  • ive been trying so hard and after this video after a couple of times i finally got it!!!! thanks so much!

  • i did IT

    i was all like fuck dat

    and just did it!!! :D

    

  • I'm 18 and can't do this shit. I went to the doctor a couple days ago and I told her I couldn't swallow pills. Now I have to swallow 8 pills a day for 5 days. Worst week ever, I'll probably have a heart attack by the end.

  • for sum reason i cant swallow them my water goes down my mouth and that just stays there .

  • Thanks, did this with Ecstasy, now i can finally pop pills in the club, but since watching this video i have became severally addicted to popping pills, can you make a video on addiction? thanks, ian.

  • I had a trouble swallowing pills at about age 11. The pediatric doc suggested to practice with Skittles, M and M's, and maybe graduate to some Mike and Ike's. Also remind yourself that you just some how magically swallowed a slice of pizza in only like four bites. Can't do that today but in high school I sure could.

  • omg thanx imm a try this cuz my mom is cussing me out and in spanish its horrible and its true they dont understand how fucking hard it is !!!

  • I can't swallow pills. So, I chew them and swallow with water.

  • thank you man your advice really helped me

  • omg i thought it was just me! i even dread ever getting pregnant in case i have to take pills.  im going to give this a try at 32! fingers crossed, as it really would change my life! its so embarrasing and ive tried to cover it up for 20 years!!!

  • I choked on a pill once when I was younger, to the point where I nearly blacked out. Since then, pills are terrifying to me. I want to take them, since they're going to help me, but I just can't do it. I panic and work myself up, and then the whole process of swallowing the pill no matter what the size takes way too long or I can't do it at all, and give up. And right now i've got tooth aches that are preventing me from sleeping, so i've got to take a pill. I'm desperate to fix my phobia ; ~ ;

  • I think capsules are easy to swallow but i hate those powdery pills cause if you fail to swallow at the first attempt it starts to melt and get bitter.

  • I'm 21 and I've had trouble swallowing pills all my life. I've never known anyone who's had the same problem or really understood. I couldn't help but cry watching this video, I could really tell that you knew what I was going through. It really helped so much!!! Thank you so much!!!! You are amazing!!!!

  • i just take lose of grapes, chew em, then swallow the pill with the grapes, if i cant feel the pill in my mouth im fine XP

  • I'm 17 and I'm having troubles swallowing pills especially when I have a high fever. Well it seems you have a lot of positive responses, I'm going to try it out tomorrow. ~

  • @EternalDestiny95 were you able to swallow the pill ? , im 17 to and need to take a pill for my anemia and i cant and every time my mom cuzzes me out its like how is that suppose to help ! but yeaa if u have any more advice plz comment

  • @tightpantsJONAS well I combined his method with another method I found in the related videos corner by ACHF1 (The New Method of Swallowing). Both methods really helped me out, now I can swallow pills with no problems at all!

  • This has helped me ssoooo much thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Pretty sure you just changed my life forever! I am 19 and have never been able to swallow pills. You are seriously my life savor! THANK YOU!

  • I am taking anti depressants and I've had to crush them to take them. I am scared of choking. The tablets I take are tiny! About the size of an apple pip and I struggle to take them. I am going to try this tomorrow when I take them. Hopefully it works.

  • I'm about 14 and I've been trying to swallow these fish oil pill things for about a week but the whole time I've been trying to swallow them i used water and it never worked. Whenever I tried it without water it worked great! So this might help some viewers out there

  • IT WORKED THANK U SO MUCH DUDE I LOVE U

  • I tried this and it didnt work and I put the pills back but I got pissed cause I felt like a puss so I got em back out and kept trying and eventually got it so thanks so much!!!!

  • this is the first time in my life i could easily swallow a pill!! thank you so much!

  • i like this video because you actually understand what we go through and that it's not that easy for some people. so, i appreciate that you can relate.

  • Or you can just put the pill on your mouth then fill your mouth with water until you feel your pill floating on your mouth then just take ur biggest gulp ever and there ur done

  • Thank you so much! I'm 23 years old and have always had a problem swallowing a pill and the first time I watched this video and followed your suggestions it worked! Thank you so much for this video!

  • WORKED first TImeee!! (:

  • Thank you! Someone who understands me!

  • One more thing take the coating off the pill because that is what gives it it's sticky feeling. The only way I know to take the coating off the pill is to leave the pill on your tongue until it comes off

  • It and then put all the steps together and presto your done. The reason most people give up during trying is because they feel that their can't close all the way am I right? So that's why you drink without the roof of your mouth touching the pill so you don't notice it or feel it go down

  • I have just taken a pill for the first time and what I did was cut the pill in half. Then I put it on the middle of my tongue and started drinking water. Now here's the important part. You can't drink normally because most people that have trouble like me would agree that you wish it could just slide down as if you were eating food. But it can't cause it's a solid. This is hard to explain but you should drink without the roof of your mouth touching your tongue. Just practice to find how you do

  • I used to be like this lol. Just wow after so many years I got fed up and didn't care anymore. I now just throw the pill in my mouth and put my mouth over the circle part of my water bottle and just chug it down.

  • Thanks, I can finally swallow pills !!

  • Omg worked first time :D (throats a bit funny though coz I've never swallowed a pill before and in that way) been having problems with pills forever. I've have quite a lot of operations in my life and every time my Medicean is alway in pill form. I have to ask them to change it into liquid Medicean and it taste revolting. Thanks xx

  • for me it seems to be all mental. I know i can, im just afraid of choking every time

  • Best technique: Sip some water first (not too much), quickly put the pill in mouth, tilt head back (this widens the throat) and then just simply swallow like there is nothing there (just imagine a nice big swallow). Every other technique makes me gag on the pill which is probably one of the worst feelings you can have. Swallowing pills is all about confidence, if you know you gag from swallowing pills, it will just get harder and harder to take them until eventually you have developed a phobia.

  • I have to eat chewy gel pills until I can swallow them right 😣

  • I have to eat chewy tell

  • Worked for me doode thanks .. ive been trying to swallow pills for years noow i can.

  • i tried it and it didn't work............ I NEED someones help

  • my tongue wasn't letting me lol

  • I used to do it just fine but then I almost choke once and even though I know I'm not gonna choke I just can't do it anymore. I only manage to do it in the morning sometimes cause I'm in that "I don't care if I choke I just wanna sleep" mood. xD

  • ur not an idiot!

  • i hate pills, and i feel like a sissie, i got a pill the size of half a centimeter xD and im afraid of swallowing it

  • Dude, I managed to down two huge ones, but with major gagging and, as you said, no water at all! THX, i'll give it a shot next night! It's for my ZMA pills lol

  • My pill was fucking massive it took ages lmaoo

  • depending on if the pill is big, i ALWAYS have to bite it in half then take each half like it's a regular pill.

  • advils are noob shit the pills i have to swallow are like 3 advils wide

  • omg I am 13 and like every1 I no can swallow a pill but I still cant, I just watched this I did your trick and I can do it I just swallowed it, thank u so much this works very well (:

  • im sick and my dad kept getting mad at me because i would take a pill. this shall benefit me greatly.

  • This worked thanks. But another thing that worked for me that anyone should try if the video didn't work is to put the pill in your mouth, drink some water, and then have the pill floating in the water and think to yourself it's only water, no pill is in there. Then swallow. Hoped this helped :)

  • i still cant swallow pill, and im 16. i know what you mean by not being able to swallow pills it suck.

  • OMG i just tried this on a piece of candy and it worked! i'm going to go try it on real pills now! THANK YOU SO MUCH

  • THANK YOU SO MUCHHH

  • Thanks,, this worked. (:

  • My dad died trying to swallow a pill vengeance shall be mine i will defeat thy pill

  • i tried it, and failed so i was like "fuck it" and threw it down my throat and thought i was choking but then i drank water and WIN!!!

  • Thanks man, unfortunately my pill melts in like 2 seconds.

  • BRO!! THANK U SO MUCH MAN!!! U HELPED ME SO MUCH!!

  • This did help me but i will need a lot more practice, it took me 30mins to get one pill down.

  • i still cant swallow it i gag too much

  • @wally0000000000 anyone make any penis jokes yet?

  • That's what she said!

  • I LOVE YOU. first time swallowing a pill EVER thanks to you

  • you know smth? all those muthafuckas who produce those pills should think about the average size of the throat diameter and produce pills taking that into consideration. remember that taking pills is not in the human nature as we have the natural instinct to chew rather than just swallow solid matter. medication is a fucked up shit that damages your body even more so that it still kills you, but much slower,so that you can pay for the pills and enrich the people who benefit from you taking pills

  • what about if its a giant oval pill

  • you can taste nasty pill

    

  • omg. I did it. I WOULD'VE NEVER THOUGHT!!! THANK YOU!~ :DD

  • I ussually swallow it with a chocolate biscuit :)

  • The trick to swallowing any sized pill is drinking a thick liquid with it such as milk. You hardly feel the thing in your mouth so it's much easier to swallow. That's how I learned to swallow my huge vitamin pills.

  • @AussieGossie What if you can't drink anything other than water without massive pain, and have to take pills daily for medical problems?

  • @mostliberal Yeah I had tonsillitis just a few months ago. It's so horrible for swallowing anything. There is not much you can do in that situation. If you need to swallow capsules that float in water just tilt your head forward & just simply swallow like you normally do. I was scared at first but they always went down without me gagging. Try it, I had to swallow 50 capsules of penicillin!

  • @AussieGossie I don't have tonsillitis, I just lost my natural swallowing reflex over the years (I'm 22 and this happened when I was 18). I mean, hard dry pills can get stuck in my throat for over an hour before it starts to dissolve or go down. My throat is really dry all the time, so it won't go down eventually; friction keeps it up there. I also tried downing 300-400 ml of water in one chug, and that didn't work. Also, my throat went back to being dry a minute later.

  • @mostliberal Strange, that seems like an unusual event. I don't know how someone at 22 lost their natural swallowing reflex? Pills are only dry if they are swallowed with a liquid. I think what you have is a psychological fear of choking on a pill. One freak event such as what you have described has made you fearful of swallowing. If you're throat is dry, DRINK MORE WATER. Drink half a glass before you swallow the pill then drink the next half with the pill in your mouth. It won't get stuck!

  • @AussieGossie It has nothing to do with fear. I've been taking pills all my life, and the first time I had a problem was at 18, taking a pill a little bigger than one I easily took at 7. My throat is generally different than it used to be. In terms of moisture, It's dry ALL the time, but globs of mucus flow down it occasionally. You know that peristalsis movement that brings food down? Well, basically, it won't happen if I swallow some dry pill with water. The water just flows down on its own.

  • @AussieGossie... and by the way, I already did that bit with water before and after the pill, and I also did that with a total of 700-800 ml.

  • @mostliberal You're weird, just crush the pill & stop punishing yourself.

  • @AussieGossie there are many pills that have to be taken whole so thats not an option.

  • @Bananabear20 In exceptional circumstances like the guy I was talking so, that may be his ONLY option.

  • well my brother (pablo delarosa) saw this video and still can't swallow a pill and he is 20 years old even I can swallow a pill nd im 17 :)......... Pablo Good Luck on learning how to swallow a pill ;) i love you

  • omfg, this worked thanks !

  • THANK YOU! You are awesome! And to think you discovered all of these elements on your own, you would have made a top engineer. This is perfect!

    All of these people who said "I just keep drinking until it gets own" thought I had a problem...

  • This worked! Thank you so much!!! I needed to take antibiotics and this saved my life yay!

  • @BBallUnleashed786: I dissolved it with plain water

  • Helped :D

  • here is an easy way to do it. if u still cant swallow pills like me then try this. its easy and fun

    step. 1 open the pill/capsule and take the powder out

    step. 2 get some tye of food where u know it can dissolve into (ice cream works best)

    3. wait a couple minutes so it completely dissolves then quickly eat it

    step. 4 after eating most of the ice cream, drink a LOT of water (minimum 6 OZ)

    step. 5 it might taste a lil werid but it always gets the job done

  • @BBallUnleashed786 it's not a powdered pill :(

  • @rmitchell58 oops lol well the ones i took had powder in them

  • @BBallUnleashed786 thats ok i can swallow then now

    

  • i think this will help the pills that i have are expensive so one a day ill try tommorow one problem i cant see my throat my tongue is too big really!

  • I really do appreciate this vid, because you have taught me how to swallow a pill for the first time of my life and I am fifteen years old, but I do like this vid because you break down the procedures of how to swallow a pill, so thanx so much. :)

  • SOUNDS SCARY OMG.. BUT HERE I GO

    around 1 minute later..... IT WENT DOWN, THANKS MAN!

  • Hi im 13 and i have to take pills for ADD and i looked at this video bc i cant swallow pills. I'm kind of frightened of taking this this way because i get scared that i might gag. Could u plz help me get my mind off of the pill?

  • I tried this and tried and guess what the pill ended up in the trash instead of helping my headache :/ I'm 13 and it still isn't happening. I've tried since I was 7 and I throw it up all the time!

  • @TexMexChick99 Hey, i kind of do the same thing and same kind of problem. Maybe we can help each other? I cant swallow pills either and my parents yell bc of it

  • @iKeyLimePie Try swallowing M@Ms or Tic tacs.

    I too dont know how to swallow pills yet and im 23

    But try this i researched it and they talk about it how it couid work.

  • @iKeyLimePie haha my parents yell at me too sadlyy

  • wow thank you! I tryed it and it worked!:D

  • lol im 27 and still trying to swallow pills

  • THANK YOU!!!!

  • Hi! I know i'm only 12 but i have to take pills for headaches and stuff, i ALWAYS either choke on it, or have to chew on it / dissolve it in my mouth. Just like, 30 seconds BEFORE i watched this video, i tried putting it in my Yogurt and go from there...Didn't work cuz i CHEW MY YOGURT!! So i got my mom to shove yogurt in my mouth and i had to swallow...DIDNT WORK!! SOOOOO! I had to chew it and it tasted D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G!!

  • @EVILCUPKAKES Instead of chewing it have your mom break up the pill on a spoon, so it's just powder- and then put a liiiiittle bit of melted icecream in the spoon and mix it up together. I do that all the time and it's less disgusting x

  • @kawistarr yeah, until you have to take antibiotics or mefloquine. Nothing will hide the taste of these.

  • @Malinkasoa i've took antibiotics with that method, and it of course still tastes pretty bad, but not as much as it usually does.

  • i have to take pills to get rid of fungus growing on the inside of my head, really sucks that the pills i have to take are fucking huge! and cnt be chopped up, these are= the biggest pills ever that im put on, to make things even worse, i have to take three of those motherfuckers a day! and there's 30 of them! i once somehow manage to swallow a pill whole, other than that never happened again, FML!!! at the moment :(

  • Hi, I'm eighteen and I've always had problems swallowing pills so my dad would make me chew them which is soooooo nasty. On Saturday my dad yelled at me all day because I couldn't swallow it. I took your advice and I successfully swallowed the pill!!! Thanks soooooooo much!!!:)

  • You are a GOD SEND! Thank you so much!

  • OMG Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm 22 and I was never able to swallow a pill until now!

    Thank you SOOO much for this vid! You're right, people don't understand XD

  • thx alot for this vid it really helped me

  • Not as easy when your throat is swollen from tonsillitis, and having to swallow 300mg capsules. Its difficult xD My mom tried to get me to, I ended up puking a few times, but now I'm trying again, since its one of my six hour points :p

  • Wow I dont take pills like that if you wanna take the Pill how my mom does it is she Puts the pill on a spoon and SMASHES is with another spoon into Dust then She puts Apple sauce over it THen she puts the apple sause With the powder mixed in it Into my moulth i drink water IT GOES DOWN!

  • im 17 and my mom makes me feel like shit because i cant swallow a pill and my 8 year old brother can...she yells at me and tells me that i will look like a idiot and i need to grow up if i cant swallow and pill and that i shouldnt tell people...yelling at me all the god dam time.

  • omg i cant do it!! its too scary. :'(

  • It might not get to you but if you read this, thanks a lot! I mean it. :)

  • Didn't work :(

  • Oh maii gawd! This worked! I love you man! Gesh SUPER AWESOME!

  • Dude it really worked!!! U saved my life.. I might be dead trying to swallow pills and get choked to death.. Thanks bro! ;) have a nice day.

  • Im 20 and never been able to swallow pills. This worked for me! I gagged like 10 times and wanted to die, was so sick but I kept pushing the pill down my throat and eventually it went down :D

  • This really works!

  • Thanks so much this actually worked! :D

  • some day ama die from some disease that can only be cured with pills

  • i just tried this and i felt like gagging :(

    im 20 and i HAVE to take pills because im sick but i can't do it!!! :(

  • Thank you for the advice

  • thank you so much michael j fox!

  • I watched this last night. I just took my first pill. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

  • Thank you soo much,now I can swallow cum so much better

  • Here's what I do.

    1. Place the pill at the end of your throat/mouth

    2. Open your throat as if your trying to fog something

    3. Put water in your mouth

    4. Try to make the pill float around the back of your throat/mouth while letting your throat open up

    5. Swallow fast! You feel like your gonna choke, but trust me you don't.

  • i have the same problem with swallow pills would this actually work and im 17 year old.

  • 1:10 - he actually talks about the pills.

  • this shit works for small pussy pills, i have to take 4 HUGE pills a day and i just CANT they feel so fucking BIG so i just crush them and eat the fucking nasty taisting gue, FML

  • If this works for you, great. If it doesn't try using a fizzy drink if the medication allows you to do so. With the bubbles you barely notice the pill in the mouth and one big gulp and you can't even feel it going down worked great for me.

  • p.s. if it helps, try no to think about it too much when you are in the process of swallowing it, (after you figure out what works best of how to swallow it and still have that choking like feeling) and do it swiftly too (but not too fast where you swallow wrong)

  • Its ok, i didnt learn how to swallow them until I was 20. Everyone is different. With me, I put it in the middle of my tongue, and drink a carbonated drink. Idk why but all other drink doesnt help me swallow it without freaking out. I have tried back of the tongue and never worked for me. It also depends for me of what size it is. So everyone, if this doesnt work try other ways and other drinks of what will be easier for you to do so :)

  • I don't know - but this video is kinda funny!!! ;o) Like it!

  • Yeah i'm 20 this helped

  • Some might find this nasty, but I just bite the pill in half and then swallow it if it's small enough or bite on it. What's a couple of seconds of some awful taste in your mouth than trying to swallow and pill and end up gagging for what seems to take forever?

    I know, I know. I should learn to swallow pills (especially since some medicine is only time release and all that), but it's not something I mind much.

  • The best way to swallow a pill, (Because I can't do it anyother way is...) Get a spoon full of peanut butter, pudding, icing, honey, Heck even ketchup mayo or even mustard.... But get a spoon full of these types of condements, and put the pill in the middle and eat it.... But the first four work the best :) Other wise I can not swallow any type of pills....

  • Comment removed

  • what i do is break the tablets up into 4 sections, if they're large, plant them into a banana, take a bite, swish the banana around in my mouth until it becomes soft, and swallow! works a treat!

  • i put it down my throat the first time and threw up..... then i was like well if u have tht much psitive feedback it must work.... so i tried again.... i just spit it out cuz i was like choking.... but then i got water like right by my mouth and tried again.... it workeddd!!!!! thanx dude

  • YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES OMG THANK YOU!!!!

  • I can't get the pill to the back of my tongue. :( Every time I try, I kind of gag and my tongue automatically moves back into my mouth so the pill rolls forward, back to the middle of my tongue.

    I'll keep trying though!! I'm 17 and I've never been able to swallow pills. I usually get chewable or dissolvable stuff but I've decided it's time to learn to swallow pills.

  • Wow thank you soooooo much! I was recently prescribed a pill I have to take everyday and HATED to take it every mourning! now I get up and swallow it with ease! this 100% works!!

  • I DID IT!!!! YAYYY!!!! OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

  • i hvnt been able 2 swallow pills 4 about 8 yrs. my hole is small :( i hav 2 take a pill 2morrow morning so if it works i'll let u knw :) thnxs so much

  • OMG!!!!!!!!!!

    IT WORKED!

    THANKYOUSOMUCH<3

  • i have to start today! :(

  • I just tried it and it worked! I have such a hard time swallowing pills and I just swallowed it in like 10 seconds. Once I put it in the back of my throat I just swallowed water n it went down! Thank you!

  • After several years, including several HOURS this morning of trying to swallow a pill, my son was able to swallow a pill on the first try after watching your video. His look of surprised triumph was immediately followed by this exclamation: "I LOVE THIS GUY!" Thanks so much for your video.

  • I think I love you. I've been on various daily medications for years and I could never swallow a single pill; I either chewed them or emptied the capsules into food. Can you imagine going that multiple times a day for years? It sucks. Well, tonight I had to take a capsule and had no food to empty it into, and I found your video through Google. It took a while, but I finally got it down my throat! I cheated and chewed the other ones, but it's definitely a start. :) Thank you so much!

  • iam freacken scared of swoalloing pills im gonna try this when i get sick or something and i need and advil

  • dude. It worked for me. I only gagged twice. thank you.

  • Sometimes I find it a little difficult. Take a medium sip of water (nothing too overwhelming), tilt your head slightly forward (if the pill floats) or tilt your head slightly backward (if the pill sinks) then just clear your mind & swallow everything.

  • Very helpful. Took your advice and was able to do it. I also found it very helpful to not think about the pill at all and just swallow like it was a gulp of water. Thanks again

  • I have to big pills to swallow that easly - . - its like swallowing a stone

  • so u swallow u actually swollown the pill without water first and then u drink the water

  • your mom

  • i love you

    

  • i cant do it :(

    i just cant :'(

  • the mirror thing really helps out when you put the pill in the back of your throat. :D i just learned how to swallow pills a week ago...and get a big gulp of water and just swallow it. NO MATTER WHAT

  • i hope this works for mee! thanksss(:

  • i will try it!!

  • life saver

  • Man, hope this helps. I've always had terrible pms cramps but I've never been able to take those midol pills to ease them. I'm be getting tomorrow, so hopefully this works.

  • OMG THANKYOU! Im fifteen and i have soo much trouble swallowing pills and my mom YELLS at me -____- she thinks im not normal bcuz im already fifteen and my little sister can swallow pills. Shes like twelve :( Lol. I finnaly swallowed my benadryl pill, so thankyou!!
