How humble.

Bryophyte it's not just Benadryl its everything...I can't even swalow Tylenol.....how the hell can I get rid of my headache!?



Hey, you asked for advice and flaming, I gave you some great advice. My grandpa had to take it like this. Always complained too but at least there was no puking it back up.

I had to take a suppository once when I was like 4 for some medication I can't even remember what it was for. I just the experience. It looked and felt like I was shoving a crayon up my crack. Not that I've ever done it again

Being honest has everything to do with being humble :p ask for an honest answer and I'll give you a nice, humble, honest answer.


Twas a joke, I'm laughing as I sit here and nothing will go down. There's some prescriptions that aren't available in anything but pill form. I mean I swallow food whole wtf is the matter with me.

Like I said, get a slice of bread. Squish it down. Insert pill. Swallow. Drink water to flush down..


Also, I beleive almost every form of medication can come in suppository form if you ask for it.

You know the problem is all in your head, right? Maybe if you force yourself to take multivitamins every day you'll make yourself get used to taking them.

Take a mouthful of water or juice or coke or something, swallow it, take another mouthful, throw the pill toward the back of your mouth, swallow, take another drink.

Oh, I didn't really have flames in mind, more like homoerotic innuendo and such.

mmmm....

I know it's mental, but if all I do is concentrate on swallowing it then it still doesn't go down. I have no fvcking clue what to do. My friend had the same problem and now he's magically "cured". All I ever hear from him "Oh it's all mental just focus" I hope he gets addicted to OC.

well, if it's all a mental thing, do something else to take your mind off it. LOL

Try this.

Put pill in mouth.
Turn on some porn.
Start scratching an itch.

Sometime soon you'll realized you've swallowed that pill in your mouth.

I used to have the same problem, up until a year ago. I have to get a big gulp's worth of water in my mouth, pop the pill in, then swallow. I had to practice at first with no pills, just big gulps of water, then convince myself that it's no different with a pill in the middle of all that water.
Good luck. :thumbsup:

You're rabid. Everyone stand clear.

Seriously buy chewables. Or try swallowing it with food. Or u could put the pill on the back of ur tongue and inhale deeply thourhg your mouth. You'll choke, but it'll go down.

No, just trying to provide a reasonable way of distracting yourself mentally. I just used a universal distraction in my answer. If you can think of something else it might work too.

Why grind it up when you can snort the pill whole? *choke* *cough cough cough* *suffocate* *out of breath* *drops dead*

I dont think i ever dated you... :)

But im the same exact way.. I just had to pay primo bucks for liquid zithromax instead of getting pills because I cant swallow and the doctor said i wasnt allowed to chew them. Im a chewer... Im so used to it though it doesnt bother me. I can pretty much do it without tasting it anymore
