(Can't Stand) Taking Tablets

Goatworshiper

Anyone else?

I can't swallow em. I get traumatised by em. If so how do peole get round it? 

I just refuse to take medication thats not liquid. Im a bit funny with food texture too.

  • Hiya, 

    Im not on the spectrum but i find tablets a no go area!! its def a mental thing, its like the simple thought of it makes my throat close up. I have never been able to swallow tablets and have had many dickie fits in the doctors because its too much hard work for them to find an alternative!

    I tend to stick to soluble or disolvable ones. Medicine can be too foul to keep down. Its funny that they can make medicine for kids taste nice yet for adults its worse than drinking acid (as far as i can imagine!!)

    So your not alone, im sure there are loads of us who CANT take tablets. I dont think its a choice of cant/wont i simply cant take tablets, it just wont go down and the thought of it makes me gag!
