I have no clue... My little sis has the same problem which isn't good. I guess I don't have that problem because I've been taking medication just about my whole life but then again I still had to learn how to swallow (this soy de so wrong).
Try asking your doctor for a different from if the medication if he/she can't provide it for you then smash your medication or let it melt in your water and drink it all.

Used have at least 12 various pills and sups a day. Its not scary just take em. If the effects scare you or you simply can't handle the meds or supplements then dont take em. im not the most mature so Dont take my word for it but if they aren't vital then you can probably slide by and just skip it.
I can take a handful with hardly any water at all. My issue is needing to hold my mouth open without breathing through it as a dentist or whoever does something inside. I try to breathe through my nose, but just can't keep my focus away from something being so far back in my mouth, making me throw up... It's not fear, though I'm not sure why I always fail...
its all in your head i just throw a hand full of pills in my mouth and swallow them all at once

Omg, I used to be afraid to swallow seven seas pills when I was younger. Its like I felt they would stick at my throat. Its a phobia. However, I have grown out of the fear and I swallow the little gel caps like a pro. The hard ones I bite up then swallow. The trick is to relax and take it with a class of room temperate water. Dont fear, dont think , just do. The water helps to wash it down.
Put some water in your mouth before putting the pill in. It makes it feel like a more natural swallow. If you have to swallow a capsule, tilt your head down before swallowing so it floats "up" towards the back of your throat.
Yea i used to be the same afraid I'm gonna choke get stuck in my throat! Now I'm like meh swallowing dem with no liquid 😵🤗😊🙃
Because it isn't natural... You know... Just like it isn't natural to put anything inside your mouth other than food and drink. Going to the dentist is weird too, but necessary.
*shrugs* I don't I take about 8 horse (sized) pills a day lol.
lol i thought it was just me. i can't do it, and i haven't tried again.
I used to be so afraid of swallowing pills.
I recently got over that a year or so ago! Sometimes it's still hard to swallow an advil or something.What I do is put the pill (s) in my mouth and leave in the middle of my tongue and just chug the water quickly so I can't stop myself from swallowing it lol
I was only afraid to swallow pills when I had no feeling in most of my mouth after oral sugery and didn't wanna risk choking on it. But if I didn't take the pills soon I'd feel all the effects of the surgery as the anesthesia wore off.
It's like swallowing dicks. Only they don't come back out. Yeah that's pretty intense.
I have the same problem. Takes me forever to swallow them.
I used to freak out but as of a few weeks ago I take about 10 pills a day so I'm used to it lol.
swallowing pills? why should that be scary as such?
Most pills are bitter, and in truth most of them fight the body system
same lol. i just get the liquid or tablet version of meds.
I do it daily just vitamins and sometimes some ibuprofen if I over do it!
Don't have any problem as long as I know what I'm taking
I have to have water or something, or my body won't swallow, I guess cuz your body views it as a foreign object
Freaking out no, but liking to take pills neither :o :o
If I can avoid them, I'll take a big turn around the infirmery :-(I'vee been taking them since I was 7 years old, I don't have any issues with it
