King C Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Probably a really crap and useless post but here it goes: Im a retard who has recently been illl and have been advised by the doctors to take paracetemol regularly to help me recover quicker but heres the thing; I can't swallow the damn things!!!!! Anyone got any tips except for just swallow or putting them in bread. Its about time I've learnt but just can't do it.Any wierd and any whacky tips like practicing with tic tacs or any normal ones like halving them.CheersA snivelling and coughing King.

BeNNy Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Put it in with some water, then just down it ALLLLLLLLLLL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Capsules are easier to swallow because they're a bit plasticky, so for a beginner like you, try them.Paracetamol is a bad one because the tablets are often quite big and obviously harder to swallow.You can get Paracetamol in dispersible tablets and probably some sort of liquid stuff (grown up Calpol) if you can't swallow tablets well.Or just stop being a baby and swallow the damn thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Elding Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 i used to get this. the way i found i could swallow them was proper engulfing them with saliva so it was more a ball of spit than a tablet. seemed to help psychologically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Just chew them, then they're easy to swallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmt_oli Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 i never used to be abel to swallow tablets, retched every time. Since ive had to take 4 (or more) everyday you force yoruself to do it, and get used to it pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im rolling up bits of bread and swallowing them but it feels soo wierd. I'll make them bigger and move onto the real deal soon.

Haz Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I had the same trouble. I just started downing glasses of water, as I got used to that, when I needed to I began to just ease up and not retch. Now I can swallow grapes whole with no water. Which is a great party trick, so long as you don't choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTrialSpaz Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Seriously man, how can you find it hard?? Just put one in your mouth, add water, tilt head back so you feel tablet right on the back of your tongue and swallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark145 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Just a thought but maybe get a family member or friend to give you like 5 sweets (Werthers Toffees,ooooooooooooh theyr'e good) with you blindfolded and get them to mix it up (randomize the order) and then give you them seperately and maybe it might work. But remember don't chew them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I can't take 'em either, i'm almost 23 and just can't do it...It's something mentally blocking it, annoying as fook... I have to crush em into a shot of coke and neck it that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I just..swallow them whole? Can do it with grapes too.. and not choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Put it as far back on your tongue as you can, drink water and swallow.I used to be really scared of swallowing tablets, but im fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Fried Rice Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Have a glass of water, not too much, put the tablets into the water and drink the water before it dissolves. Dont watch the tablets go into your mouth otherwise you will cough lol and just down it all.JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Don't swallow tablets. Swallowing tablets leads to hypochondria, hypochondria leads to being a woman and being a woman leads to giving birth and being dreadfully annoying at the age of 50. On a more serious note, just don't swallow them. The body can heal itself and we trials riders can survive without doctors' help unless it's something to do with our joints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 hmm like the woman in hospital who gave me a pill to stick up my ass...... i told her to stick it somewhere equally unpleasant and that id prefer the pain! by the look on her face it looked like most people look them quite happily...... she was really supprised like its best pain killer available..... f**k that im not brown fingering that up my assYou can! Works quicker that way too**The above statement is by no means completely true, although i have seen a friend snort one up and he hasn't died yet.you can also snot coffee granules... then pour very hot water into your mouth huck up the coffee grains.... swirl in your mouth then shallow.... saves in the washing up..... i wouldnt advise it though.... and yes it hurt ALOT...
