some need to go thru a ritual before swallowing a pill, others cant do it at all
it helps to stand up, take some water and tilt head back
liquid versions of some meds are available so ask doc or pharmacist
some manage by crushing pill into a powder and mixing with food
many pills can be left under the tongue to disolve in saliva, this gets the med into your system OK
see 'sublingual' on the net
any comments?

I have a VERY hard time taking pills, I have a big fear that they're going to get lodged in my throat or go down sideways and hurt my throat. I spend a lot of time positioning the pill just right on my tongue before swallowing. It doesn't always work, but it makes me feel better.
I do generally ask for liquid medications when available or very small pills. When i do take small pills i take a sip of water, put the pill in, and then chug. if you put water in first the pill floats right away and you really dont feel it in your mouth!!
I don't even notice with water. I could just take them and swallow (I have before). At the moment my pills are my sane gateway.
I hang out to take them.
Sounds awful, yeah! But, so true.
