What's the easiest/most effective method of swallowing a tablet?

I've learned that a lot of likes and dislikes are all in the mind.  If you don't think about what you are doing, then the task becomes a lot easier.  Don't think about swallowing the pill just do it.  Take the pill, and follow it with something that you like.  Your mind will associate it with the something good, and it will become a easier task.

Not a pro at taking that stuff any more, but I found shaking it in a bottle and drinking it quickly was the best way.  It didn't seem to matter what quantity I used: the powder would settle at the bottom.

use a rolling pin to squeez the stuff out...and there is a gadget on the market that looks like 2 fingers, you slip the bottom of the tube between the 2 fingers and just turn up so that the tube rolls around and over the fingers and the paste doesn't backflow..got he idea?..but you can always by toothpast in a pump

Get some peanut butter and put it on the roof of your mouth. It works! One of my teacher's had a jar of it in the cupboard always handy for anyone who had hiccups.

yeah, in our family, we found out that when you take some Lemon extract, add a LITTLE bit of water, and use it like lysterine, but not in the place of... just "Gargle" it, and spit it out, and do that sevral times a day... and that should work...

Best way is to get some soluble paracetamol (tylenol if you're in the USA) or aspirin and dissolve it in water as hot as you can stand. Gargle with it, then swallow it. Take regular ibuprofen as well (it's fine to take paracetamol or aspirin and ibuprofen at the same time, they work in totally different ways).

DO NOT CRUSH PILLS! (This is for everyone, please read the article below.)\nHowever, you can coat them in like a spoonful of jelly and then just gulp the whole thing down.  You can also put some water in your mouth, pop the pill in, then chug more water.  The pill will slide right down.  I used to have trouble with big pills and the jelly worked great and now I have no problems.  \nJust try to relax and think how much they will help when you have to take them.  If they are prescribed, you can also ask for a liquid or patch instead and see if that is available.\nGood luck.

Just took one and 1/2 pills, you can do this by breaking one pill in two. Easily done because most medicine tablets have a groove in the center.

Make sure to always eat breakfast.  I think instant oatmeal or yogurt is best.  Take a Ginseng and Fish Oil Supplement.  Do some breathing exercises before lunch.  Breathe in through you nose and out through your mouth, but very deep.  You should feel it all the way in your stomach.

Drink water. I know you are stuffed, but drinking water will help break up the food more, allowing it to digest easier and a little quicker. Plus it will helpit "pass" quicker.

Real fast? Bath in Ice Water.\n\nIf you have 1/2 hour to 1 hour to spare, It's much more comfortable to just take some tylenol.

gargling with lukewarm water added with crystal salt\nevery2-4 hours will help a lot.2)Take luke warm water half cup+ 2 spoons of honey + half lemon juice will be sipped like coffee slowly 3 times a day, will make the sputum come out.3) Homoeo medicine based on totality of symptoms will also help.

For me, Tylenol Extra Strength (Geltabs) work the best and fast!\nAspirin and Ibuprofen also work, depending on the location and severity of pain.
