Answers:
Only if they are not time released, like many are!. You have to check on that first!. If not then yes, you can put them in water etc!. You can also try melatonin over the counter in the supplement isle for sleep that is sublingual!.!.!.it melts under your tongue!. Just look for "sublingual"!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't do that!. It will taste horrible!.

Instead, get a pill crusher!. Crush the pill and put it in a teaspoon of applesauce (like they do with the old folk, lol)!. And yeah, if you are talking about the drugs like ambien, you can do that!.

Unless, of course you use a time released sleeping pill like ambien CR!. Crushing it will ruin the time release aspect of the pill!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i hate it too but i take them when i have to!. when i was younger i used to crush them up and put them in honey to take away the bitter taste!. and so there weren't huge chunks to swallow!. you can even spread it on toast after if it takes your fancy =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I can't swallow pills either, but I always get the solid ones that you can cut up!. Hey, you can try it, but it may taste real nasty!. Poke a hole in it and put it in juice instead of water!.
Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
