are the most annoying thing. That happened to me earlier, and I wound up eating a piece of bread just to push the pill down my throat. Argh.

Oh, this happens to me on a regular basis. Then in the time I'm trying desperately to swallow without gagging myself some of the pill inevitably dissolves and leaves a horrid taste in my mouth.

Easy..... just drink some water into your mouth and then pop the pills in. Swallow water and pills together and then have another drink of water.

I never have that problem. I just drink some water with it

Oooh, I hate when that happens.

Dude, I drink water, but the size of pills I have to take are for horses.

luv4u said:

I did that, and the pill still got stuck. Oh well, luckily I had a piece of bread handy.

jess555ja said:

That's good. It doesn't happen to me too often, thank goodness.

My mom has the same problem.She bought a pill crusher at Dollar Tree and no more pill problemz!

Nothing at all, you're very lucky not to have this happen to you.

I'm sorry that you have to take arthritis meds, that doesn't sound like fun. I'm fine now; just wanted to start this thread to see if anybody else has ever had this happen to them.

I'm just kidding!

this thread has an underlying joke that is best left unsaid

I know you are! Hence the laugh out loud emoticon...

hokie1 said:

Oh, ok.

heybaby said:

Have you tried crushing/breaking into pieces? That might work for you.

luv4u said:

I might have to do just that, or put the pill into a piece of bread and swallow it.

I don't think I've ever had one get stuck, but each & every damn time I take one I'm scared it will I don't understand folks who can swallow a pill without water

luv4u said:

Some medicines can't be crushed or broken because it destroys the effectiveness. Mine are like that.

I do open up my son's migraine medicine. It's a capsule and has little tiny pellets inside. I mix it in applesauce and he's happy.
