Learning to Take Capsules

Generally, the biggest thing to get over in swollowing pills is fear of choking, and not the physical act of swollowing something in a chunk (because you do that all the time!).

That's so true. When I was younger I had no problem swallowing pills and could often do it without water. But then in high school, I choked on a chicken nugget (classic) and ever since I've had a hard time taking pills.

fill your mouth almost completely with water and then put the pill in your mouth. (you'll look goofy, i know) then swallow the water in one or two gulps max (a lot of little gulps won't work as effectively). when you're swallowing so much water you won't even notice the pill in your mouth.

That's how I do it now. It looks silly, but it works.
