I have to take them one at a time, and I have to have something to drink.

I take them one at a time too when I was young I had to take asprin crushed up with sugar poured on top

I swallow the whole lot in one go..I need to drink water though.

one at a time.

one at a time.

OH, God. I got mine caught in my throat once, and I just needed to reach for another drink of water, and in that time, it burned my throat so bad, it hurt for a few days after that. It was like swallowing Liquid Plummr. Probably.

I take mine all at once -- three. But if you take a big drink first, it will coat your throat and help it all go down. Or, eat them with yogurt or applesauce, or something soft and mushy like that. I like that better, then wash it down because it won't get stuck and burn that way.

But if you have a whole slug of pills to take, it's better to take a few or one at a time. Especially if you are alone, if you start to choke, it might not be good.

Hee hee.... my mom gave me aspirin that way, too. and she said I swallowed a half bottle of it once. I don't remember it, though.

A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.....!!! LOL!

I take my pills one at a time, and I don't need water until I'm done - to wash it all down.

Been taking meds 3 times a day for almost 7 years now and they seem to be getting bigger...Depakote a few weeks ago, they were HUGE!
I swallow up to 7 at a time for my morning meds but definitely need drink w/ it.

I can take all of them at once and I don't need water if it's just a small pill like Sudafed.

(Yes, I know we're not supposed to take Sudafed but I take it occasionally to trigger a little mania when the house gets so bad I have no choice but to clean it or move out)

Starfish, Mary Poppins is my hero. I love that movie. Before I got married I was a live in nanny.

I used to be a one-pill-at-a-time kind of person and even then I would pretty much gag them down with a bunch of water. Now I just take a handful and make sure I haveat lest a half glass of water ready.

I take *7* all in one go, but it has to be with something other than water.

Big ones then small ones I can relate I take them in a certain order starting with lamictal because it tastes so bad if it gets stuck I will have plenty to wash it down but the same order so I don't forget one.

I usually take a whole handful, that includes my vitamins, but I have to have something to drink, to wash them down...

I can take the smaller ones about 3 at a time, but the bigger ones in capsule form, I have to take one at time and always with something to drink. I take 11 pills in the morning, no way I could them all at once. My night time meds are not quite as bad.
