It seems like no matter what I do I can never seem to correctly swallow a pill. I am aware of the tricks like putting it on your tongue, putting it in jello, mixing it with something like applesauce, and more. It seems like my only real solution is to crush up or chew the pills. Some pills are quite hard to crush or chew and they tend to have a very nasty aftertaste that’s hard to get rid of. I don’t think I’m scared of choking on the pills although it seems like that might happen. Even with regular food I have to chew it up into very small pieces before I can swallow. The most annoying part is dealing with this every single day with multiple pills despite taking one at a time.
I don’t know if this is an Asperger’s thing, but I have a feeling there could be a connection. I would like to hear other thoughts regarding this including related experiences that anyone wants to share.
