Swallowing pills

[Hitman]

How do.

I need help swallowing pills. Got some multivitamin pills and I'm no good at swallowing them, never have been. I have been practising with smarties and managed to get 2 down, but they are much smaller than these pills. What I did was fill my mouth with water, chuck the smartie in and gulp. Tried with a pill but it wouldn't go.

I believe it's more psychological than anything else so I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks.

I could never do it then i started eatin smarties but i had like alot in my mouth and didnt bite them just tried swallowing.

With tablets i jus put it at the back of my throat an get some coke or somethin fizzy an wash it down sometimes i cant do it but just keep tryin jus try not to think about it being there just that your drinkin it usually works for me.

Put the pill in before you drink...

Easier

What I do it have a little drink, then lean my head back and drop the tablets down my throat then take a big drink in big gulps and they just go down.

You don't have to drop the tablets down your throats, but the further you put them in the easier it is. oh and don't feel like you have to swallow more than one pill at a time, one at a time is fiiiine.

Right I'll give those ideas a try now. I'm only taking 1 per day so it'll only be 1 at a time. Here goes...

i could never do it until a few weeks back just think to yourself 'I can swallow these' then put them i ur mouth a get a big gulp of water and swallow the water u have in ur mouth in one gulp.


Remember you can swallow them its just your brain telling you u cant


Trust me on this I couldn't take tablet for 18 years and now I can.

OK can't edit.

Just swallowed one, took a few attempts but got there in the end. I just put a gulp full size amount of water in my mouth (no more than 1 gulp full), chucked the pill in and gulped the water. Felt it get stuck so gulped more and it finally went. Can feel it somewhere in my throat now though lol.

Thanks for the advice.

i can swallow without water

I never used to be able to swallow pills either. Just put one at a time in, place it on your tongue, and drink as much water as needed untill it has gone down your throat.

yeah i get water to the back on my throat then chuck them in and down they go without touching the sides.
