Pill Swallowing Phobia?

Okay, here's the deal. I ate Lemonheads in the car once, and my brother made a joke, and the lemonhead slipped down, and was stuck. We had to pull over and get me something to drink, fast.

I didn't eat any hard candy for almost 4 years. I finally sucked it up about two months ago, and (yes, it was in the car, I know, I was stupid) ate some Crystal Light. well we went over a bump, and it slid right down my through (same thing that happened before).

I'm sitting here with some water and two pills I NEED to take, and I.. I can't do it. I'm truly scared. Can anyone help me?!

    take them with yogurt or jello, something of a thicker consistency. or crush them or open them and dump out the powder if they are capsules and don't need to be time released.

    you may overwhelm it up and positioned it in a drink and drink it as long as you drink all of it. What could be much less stressful could be to get that delivery administration patch that's out, all you do is positioned it on your arm and it lasts for a month or extra. you additionally can get the delivery administration shot that lasts 3 months. And in case you desire to attempt taking your pill, you may take a drink of water then positioned the pill on your mouth after which swallow. while you're low earnings there are unfastened clinics or much less costly clinics for women to pass to for lady verify united statesand delivery administration and that they're going to supply many possibilities for you.

    I had a pill 'phobia' too. A few years ago I swallowed an aspirin and it got stuck in the middle of my throat. Water was literally coming out of my nose and mouth; I was really traumatized after wards ;$

    What I used to do whenever I needed to take a pill was I cracked it into little pieces and that made it easier to swallow, you can try that :)

    If you can crush them up and mix them with some water and drink them down. or you could try to swallow them with food. after you chew the food right before you swallow pop them in and then swallow
