Haha, I was the same way.
So, try practicing with an M & M, Skittle or something. Try swallowing them, or taking them with water.

Also, when you take your pill, put it in your mouth, take a huge gulp of water, then swallow. It'll go down and you wont even notice!

use peanuts and practice taking those instead of pills

take them when you need them.

personally, i take them dry.
but don't do that since you can get ulcers.
i also take 6 ibuprofin every night to sleep,
but don't do that either.

get water,put it in your mouth and put the pill in and swallow the pill and water

Use M&Ms!!! That's what i did... it also helps to stick your tongue way out and place the m&m or pill as far back as possible w/o feeling uncomfotable and then swallow quickly and drink water

Haha that's a funny question.

When I was younger my dad swallowed a spoonful of peas and I was like "OMG thats CRAZY!"

And now I look back and am like "what the hell was wrong with me?"

Anyhow back to pills. Just take them with water or something. The more you do it the easier it will become, not saying you should be taking pills anyway. I don't know what kind of pills you are referring to. Hopefully it's vitamins lol!

Good luck on your pill-inducing journey!

I used to take mine in pudding or jello or anything with that consistency..... Just stick it in the middle of a big bite and swallow it without thinking...it wont even feel like your swallowing a pill.
I hope that's what you mean and i hope that helps...its so hard at first .. it was for me. but trust me I'm 27 and i know people that still have a hard time taking pills so don't worry you'll get the hang of it

Try practicing with something that you take daily- or should be taking. Like, cod liver oil pills or some thing. They're really smooth, so they'll go down easier. So anyways, the way that I learned was by chewing up a small bit of bread until it was soggy and ready to swallow. Then just pop the pill in and pretend it's just part of the bread.
Hope I helped!

Use tic-tacs or red hots! Just take a big gulp of water and then swallow the pill with the water!

Hahaha I know how you feel. Don't worry I did the same thing. I used Goldfish. You know, the cheese cracker things shaped like fish? Yeah, and drink water while swallowing it. Just be careful!

my mom always told me to practice with red hots. thats how i learned!
